Pioneering Defence Education: Combat Systems Engineering Micro-credentials

In September, the Defence Trailblazer proudly hosted the inaugural learner cohort for the Introduction to Systems Engineering Micro-Credential, at the University of Adelaide. The ground-breaking offering is part of the Combat Systems Engineering Micro-Credentials initiative, and brought together professionals from leading defence companies, including Lockheed Martin Australia, Praetorian Aeronautics, and Advanced Navigation, for an intensive three-day workshop. 

Coming soon: Australia’s first combat systems engineering education pathway

The Defence Trailblazer is pleased to announce a new way for learners to expand their knowledge and advance their career in less time and with increased flexibility through Combat Systems Engineering (CSE) Micro-credentials.

Our CSE Micro-credentials have been co-developed with defence industry, and will be delivered by our university partners to address a critical gap in system engineering expertise in Australia.
