Hydrogen Engineering and Management Graduate Certificate - Online :Engineering Institute of Technology

Program Details

The Graduate Certificate in Renewable Energy Technologies is an advanced program, presented at a considerably higher level than the advanced diploma and bachelor’s degree level programs. This program has equal standing and level to that of a university Graduate Diploma but focuses on the career outcomes of a professional engineer and technologist. It has a higher vocational or ‘job related’ emphasis and focuses more on developing practical skills that you can apply to the workplace, rather than theory alone.

This program dives deep into the complex and ever-evolving world of hydrogen-based technologies. It equips students with specialized knowledge in hydrogen production, storage, and delivery, alongside insights into effective deployment strategies for specific industries, hydrogen’s role in the energy market, relevant policies, standards, and emerging trends. Designed for those seeking a comprehensive grasp of hydrogen’s potential beyond standard renewable energy courses, this program also caters to employers in need of highly skilled engineers in this niche field. Engineers will explore a wide array of design, implementation, and safety considerations in hydrogen technologies. Graduates with the program’s certificate will hold a competitive advantage in the job market, well-prepared for the demands of hydrogen engineering and management.

Module / Unit Number	Module / Unit Name	Duration
GHEPSD801	Hydrogen Production, Storage, Delivery, Safety	6 Weeks
GHEHPI802	Hydrogen in the Power Industry	6 Weeks
GHEHGI803	Hydrogen in Industry	6 Weeks
GHEHIC804	Managing Hydrogen in Context: Deployment, Policies, Trends	6 Weeks

Specifically, graduates of the Graduate Certificate in Hydrogen Engineering and Management will be able to:

Develop knowledge of the requirements to assess and safely manage hydrogen systems for production, storage and delivery
Apply the principles and knowledge required to justify approaches to hydrogen production, storage, and delivery within a hydrogen-based energy system
Manage engineering development projects associated with hydrogen
Identify and explain the applications, characteristics, and impacts of hydrogen in the power industry
Assess and analyze strategies suitable for the implementation of hydrogen energy initiatives in both the power sector and across various industrial domains
Manage planning and implementation of a potential hydrogen-based energy system
Develop a broad knowledge of regional, national and global influences applicable to hydrogen energy-based systems
Recognize and enhance the deployment of hydrogen as applied to selected current and future technologies and applications
Assist with formulating effective holistic strategies in relation to hydrogen energy business cases
Manage self-autonomy to achieve objectives within organizations that have outputs based on technological application and develop professional practice in the field
Communicate professionally and effectively

On successfully completing the course students will graduate with the Graduate Certificate in Hydrogen Engineering and Management.

You are expected to spend approximately 10-15 hours per week attending live webinars, learning the program material and completing assessments. This includes attending weekly webinars that run for about 60 minutes to facilitate class discussion and allow you to ask questions. This program has a 70% attendance requirement in the live webinars in order to graduate from the program. If you are unable to attend the live webinars, you have the option of watching the recording of completed webinars and sending a summary of what you have learnt from the webinar to the Learning Support officer. The summaries go towards your attendance requirement for the program.

This program is run online on an intensive part-time basis and has been designed to fit around full-time work. It will take 6 months to complete.

EIT understands that sometimes work commitments and personal circumstances can get in the way of your studies, so if at any point you feel that you are struggling with the pace of the course or finding a particular module challenging, you are encouraged to contact your designated Learning Support Officer for assistance.

Any student has a right to appeal a decision of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) or any member of the institute’s staff. EIT has a comprehensive Policy on Appeals and Grievances to assist students.
