They begin the podcast by discussing the suite of six courses covering introductory studies to radar systems and C2 to C4ISREW, defence systems and mission engineering.
Mazumdar then discussed why micro-credentials are fundamental for upskilling Australia’s industrial base to support the Australian Defence Force and the journey to making the micro-credentials.
The podcast wraps up by looking at the future vision for the combat systems engineering course, including developing an award-level qualification in combat systems engineering.
