Department offering:
Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, offering students a wide range of career choices. Our curriculum is designed to provide students with core and specialized Mechanical Engineering units together with practical skills required to commence a professional career after graduation.
Diploma of Mechanical Engineering
The Diploma of Mechanical Engineering is a practical, hands-on, two-year full time program that enables students to develop strong technical, analytical and problem-solving skills necessary for a wide range of careers in the challenging field of Mechanical Engineering. In this program, students will safely use workshop tools, recognize basics of piping systems, pumps, turbo-machinery, and select and troubleshoot pumps and valves. In addition, students will be introduced to fundamentals of turbines, boilers, compressors, and refrigeration systems. The graduates of this program will be able to apply the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics to Mechanical Engineering designs.
General Learning Outcomes
Graduates will be able to:
- Apply science and engineering fundamentals and industry-standard hardware and software tools to solving problems.
- Prepare and conduct tests in the practice area, and analyze and interpret data.
- Perform tasks and procedures in a support role.
- Read and produce engineering drawings.
- Understand and apply relevant standards and codes of practice.
- Identify and apply engineering design principles of a standardized nature.
- Appreciate and apply the principles of health and safety in the workplace.
- Recognize the impact of engineering practice in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
