Professional Certificate of Competency in Industrial Automation
Upskill with Manufacturing Microcredentials free of charge!
Chisholm are offering microcredentials in Manufacturing and Automated Production Systems that have been designed to support our industry partners and the South East of Melbourne. These microcredentials are being delivered by Chisholm free of charge and will provide graduates the ability to increase industry production, bring future skills back to the workplace, and boost career opportunities.
Students will receive a Chisholm certificate of completion of the microcredential, and a digital badge.
What you'll learn
MC101 - Professional Certificate of Competency in Industrial Automation
• This is a foundational credential that examines the theoretical and practical skills required to work in the field of industrial automation. It aligns with Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 trends and technologies that add value to manufacturing industries with a specific focus on digital transformation.
• Students study how technology and control systems are used to automate tasks, processes, and operations to reduce human intervention, minimise errors, improve product quality, increase production rates, and streamline overall processes. Students study the integration of technologies such as sensors, actuators, PLCs, robots, pneumatic systems, and micro controller based embedded systems into manufacturing processes.
• The microcredential covers three broad areas: digital electronics and programming, the design of automated production systems and programmable logic controllers. Students are required to attend in person (intensive) workshops as well as complete online activities. The laboratory sessions will emphasise identifying and resolving of both hardware and software faults.
Learning outcomes
A: Design digital and analogue electronic circuits.
B: Design and develop analogue and digital microcontroller-based embedded systems.
C: Optimise manufacturing and production processes in alignment with IOT and Industry 4.0 principles.
D: Evaluate appropriate electrical drives and control strategies for industrial automation applications.
E: Develop and test control programs in real-world industrial environments.
F: Articulate results, concepts and ideas using appropriate technical terminologies, symbols, mathematical notations, and graphical representations in written formats.
