A Fluid Power Engineer designs, develops, and maintains systems that use fluid power—such as hydraulics and pneumatics—in machinery and equipment. You might work in industries like manufacturing, mining, or construction, ensuring that these systems operate efficiently and safely. Fluid Power Engineers focus on creating innovative solutions to optimise the performance of fluid power systems, often working with complex machinery and high-pressure environments.
Fluid Power Engineers play a critical role in the functionality of machinery. You’ll need to have strong problem-solving skills and be meticulous in your work. Effective communication is essential as you’ll collaborate with other engineers, technicians, and clients to ensure the systems meet operational requirements and safety standards.
There is one course available for people who want to become a Fluid Power Engineer.
Possible job outcomes:
Fluid power industry is one of the fastest growing engineering sectors today. The Graduate Certificate in Fluid Power Engineering covers knowledge and skills needed to work with process operations and fluid power systems. You will gain an in-depth understanding of industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including design optimization, operations, troubleshooting and maintenance. You will also understand, analyze and evaluate application of various pumps, compressors, turbines and drives used in oil & gas, mining, minerals processing industries. The learning outcomes of the course are designed to equip the students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to formulate the models necessary to study, analyse, and design process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams and fluid systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of fluid dynamics in practical real-world application..
Average duration: 6 months.
