Heritage Engineering Post Graduate Courses

Implementation of Heritage Engineering Solutions (Sydney 2024)

Overview

This course will introduce engineers and other professionals to heritage materials and construction methods, including the ways in which heritage materials deteriorate, and processes for conserving them.

Whether this is the first step on your journey in the world of engineering heritage or a continuation of a passion, this course will help you expand your skills, grow your network, and uncover amazing parts of our Australian story through the lens of engineering.

Implementation of Heritage Engineering Solutions is a professional development course co-designed by Engineering Heritage Australia and the University of Canberra. The course includes sessions relevant to engineers of all disciplines and is structured to include self-paced online learning and a two-day on-site practical workshop led by experienced heritage engineering practitioners.

The next course will include a 2-day workshop on site at Cockatoo Island (Sydney) looking at heritage materials and construction methods, modes of deterioration and approaches to conservation.

Successful completion of this course along with the Introduction to Engineering Heritage course will allow qualified engineers to be eligible for accreditation as Heritage and Conservation Engineers and listed in the EA National Engineering Register.
