IntroductionGain deep and broad skills by undertaking this advanced diploma in mechanical engineering technology - focusing on real, practical systems.

embrace a well paid, intensive yet enjoyable career by taking this comprehensive and practical course, delivered by live distance learning and presented by outstanding mechanical engineering instructors located throughout the world.

Whilst there is probably not a serious shortage of theoretically oriented practitioners in mechanical engineering, there is a shortage of highly skilled practically oriented mechanical technologists and engineers in the world today, due to the new technologies only recently becoming a key component of all modern plants, factories and offices. the critical shortage of experts in the area has been accentuated by retirement, restructuring and rapid growth in new industries and technologies. this is regardless of the recession in many countries. many businesses throughout the world comment on the difficulty in finding experienced mechanical engineers and technologists despite paying outstanding salaries. For example, about two years ago a need developed for mechanicaltechnologistsandengineersinbuildingprocessplants.TheinterfacefromthetraditionalSCADAand industrial automation system to the web and to mechanical equipment has also created a new need for expertiseintheseareas.Specialistsintheseareasarefewandfarbetween.

many of these universities and colleges that do teach these topics focus more on the theoretical aspects of mechanical engineering technologies and lecturers often have little experience in industry due to the difficulty in attracting good engineers and technologists from the highly paid private sector. this course tackles the subject from a practical point of view.

the aim of this 18 month e-learning programme is to provide you with core skills in working with mechanical engineering technology and systems and to take advantage of the growing need by industry here.

the topics that will be covered are derived from the acclaimed IDC technologies' courses attended by over 300,000 engineers and technicians during the past 16 years. the course is composed of 72 topics which cover five engineering threads to provide you with maximum practical coverage in the field of mechanical engineering. the five threads running through this program are:

FundamentalsofMechanicalEngineeringTechnologies

advanced diploma of mechanical engineering technology

time Commitment for the CourseYou will need to spend an estimated 6-10 hours per week. this includes the reading of the material prior to your attendance at each hour webinar (45minuteswith15minutesfordiscussion)andthe time needed to complete assignments for submission. this time would be required to ensure the material is covered adequately and sufficient knowledge is gained to provide sound, enduring and immediately useful skills in engineering. the eIt operates almost all year long, so your studies will continue most weeks of the year to enable you to achieve the qualification in an accelerated time period when compared to a traditional semester-based system.

Live WebinarsDuring the programme you will participate in 72 live interactive sessions/webinars with the instructors and other participants from around the world. each webcast will be scheduled at 2 varying session times, so that you can select the one which is most convenient to you. Webinar times are only finalised after registrations close, as we need to know which time-zones all participants are based in before we can compile a schedule. Upon registration you will receive a questionnaire regarding your time availability. We guarantee that at least one session time, for each webinar, will fall into your preferred time slot.

You will participate in practical exercises using a combination of remote laboratories and simulation software, to ensure you get the requisite hands-on experience. this will give you a solid practical exposure to the key principles covered in the course and ensure you are able to put theory into practice.

as research shows, no matter how gifted and experienced an instructor (andwebelieveoursaresomeofthebestworldwide),noone learnsfroman instructor only presenting course materials to them in a lecture format. It is only by the additional activities of hands-on exercises using simulation software, remote laboratories, practically based assignments and interactive discussion groups with both your peers and the instructor that you are able to internalize this knowledge, "take ownership of it" and apply it successfully to the real world. You should note that there is some degree of overlap between the practical sessions between the different units to reinforce the concepts and to look at the issues from different perspectives.

traditional distance learning thus presents challenges in achieving these goals but we believe today with the modern e-learning technologies available combined with outstanding instructors that we can achieve these goals and give you an equivalent or indeed even better experience than on a traditional university campus.

Practical sessions may be added, deleted or modified by the instructors to ensure the best outcome for students.

Frequently asked QuestionsWhat are the advantages of studying online?We know that many potential students have part or full-time employment as well as family commitments, so finding the time to study a classroom-based course is not always possible. many students also have geographical, travel and time limitations and do not have an accessible institution or training provider. We have taken this into consideration and developed an affordable, flexible, online approach to training. this means that you can study from anywhere, with minimum downtime from work but still have the necessary interactive learning experience. the software we use does not require very fast internet connection or a sophisticated computer. a basic connection and hardware are sufficient.

What are the fees?the eIt provides distance education to students located almost anywhere in the world it is one of the very few truly global training institutes. Course feesarepaidinacurrencythatisdeterminedbythestudentslocation.Afull list of fees in a currency appropriate for every country would be too complex listhereand,withtodaysexchangeratefluctuations,difficult tomaintain.

to find out the fees for your location, contact us at enquiries@eit.edu.au .

What do I need?an adequate Internet connection, speakers and a microphone. a headset is recommended. the necessary software and course materials are provided by us.

Doesntitgetboring?Howcanane-Learningcoursebeinteractive?Boredom can be a real risk in any form of learning; however, we use an interactive approach to our e-Learning with live sessions (instead ofrecordings)formostpresentations.Thewebinarsoftwareallowseveryoneto interact and involves participants in group work; including hands-on exercises with simulation software and remote laboratories where possible. You can communicate with text messages, or live VoIP speech, or can even draw on the whiteboard during the sessions. this all helps to keep you motivated and interested.

What do live webinars involve?these are live, interactive sessions over the Internet. You will join the instructor and other participants from around the world in an online virtual classroomwhereyouareabletowatchapresentation,andcommunicatewith the instructor and other students via audio, text messaging or drawing onthewhiteboard.Eachwebinarisbetween60and90minutesindurationand the sessions are scheduled at 2 or 3 different times during the presentation day. this allows you to select the session which is most convenient.

What if I cannot join or I miss a live webinar?Webinars are recorded and available to students upon request. one requirement of the course is that you join at least 70% of the live sessions. the live webinars offer the opportunity to interact with the presenter and other participants from around the globe - an essential yet enjoyable part of the learning process.

Circumstances such as on-site work can make attendance difficult at times. these situations need to be clearly communicated with your e-learning coordinator. Feedback from the recordings may be required and assignment submission maintained.

When will the sessions take place? When will I receive a webinar schedule?the webinar schedule is not put together until after registrations close. the reason for this is that the course is promoted globally and we often have participants from several time zones. When you enrol you will receive a questionnaire which will help us determine your availability. When all questionnaires are returned we create a schedule which will endeavour to meeteveryonesrequirements.

each webinar runs 2 or 3 times during each presentation day and we try our best to ensure that at least one session falls into your requested time frames. this is not always possible, however, due to the range of locations of both presenters and students. If you are unable to attend the webinars scheduled, we do have some options available. Contact the eIt for more details.

Can I complete the course in less time?Our courses actually require attendance and participation at the livewebinars. the interaction which takes place is an important part of the learning process. our experience has shown that the interactive classes work exceptionally well and students are far more likely to stay motivated, enjoytheprogram,andcompletethecoursesuccessfully.SeealsoWhatifIcannotjoinorImissalivewebinar?Inaddition,acceleratingthecoursewould be quite onerous for most students.

How much time do I need? How long is the course?the course reading and assignments may consume anywhere from 5 to 10 hours per week. this will vary depending on the course subject matter and your existing knowledge

the eIt does not use a traditional semester-based system, which means that you can complete the qualification faster without long breaks. each advanced diploma course is delivered over an intensive 18 months. We do break for about 4 weeks per year for traditional festive seasons.

overviewConstruction is the largest industry in the world and anything constructed needs to be designed first. StructuralEngineeringdealswiththeanalysisanddesign aspects, the basic purpose of which is to ensure a safe, functional and economical structure. While designing, the designer constantly interacts with specialists like architects, operational managers, etc. once the design is finalised, the implementation takes involvement of people to handle aspects like statutory approvals, planning, quality assurance, material procurement, etc. the entire exercise can be undertaken in a highly coordinated way if everyone involved understands the 'project language', which is a combination of designs and specifications. to understand the language fully, it is necessary to appreciate the principles of structural analysis and design and a course on this topic comes in handy here. Participants of this module will gain a basic knowledge of structural engineering.

module 14: SelectionandOperationofMechanicalSeals

What You Will Learn:at the end of this module you will be able to:

Demonstrateasoundunderstandingofthefundamentals of mechanical seal selection

Understandenvironmentalconsiderationsrelated to mechanical seals

Troubleshootfailedmechnicalseals

Maximisemechanicalseallife

Classifyvariousseals,includingspecialsealtypes

Explainconsiderationsrelatedtothematerials used in mechanical seal construction

overviewWhether you consider yourself as amateur or knowledgeable, practical or theoretical, you will find this module is jam-packed with useful, easy to apply information. Faced with the bewildering task of selecting the correct seal type and materials of construction for a given application, it's no wonder many end users leave the job to others. after attending these sessions, you will have the knowledge and confidence to select correct seal types, analyse failed seals, determine the cause/s of failure and propose practical, remedial action. Learn how, with simple modifications, you can extend seal life and reduce or eliminate causes of premature seal failure. the module commences with a solid review of the fundamentals, basic principles and looks at seal classification and design. Special seal types are examined and thematerials used to construct seals ranging from elastomeric materials to cemented carbides are examined.

overviewLifting equipment refers to both the lifting tackle as well as lifting machines. It should be emphasised that all loads are dangerous - a 50 kg load will kill or maim as surely as a 5 tonne loadifdroppedfroma1metredistance.Safetyisnot negotiable; therefore this module drives home the point that if you use correct lifting equipment correctly and safely, your operators and personnel are well trained and in compliance with the local legislation as well as with a total SafeLiftingprogramyouwillhaveaproductivework force.
