Engineer your future
Do you have capable maths skills, enjoy using a
PC and machinery, are handy at problem solving,
and want to be a part of an exciting industry that
makes things work? North Metropolitan TAFE’s
Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechanical)
is the perfect preparation for you in a new, rapidly
evolving industry.
Gain skills in computer aided drafting (CAD), and
you can interpret and create drawings. You will then
use the drawings in the manufacture of equipment
using workshop machinery (lathes, welding,
tapping etc).
Learning about fluid power will give you the skills
and knowledge to set up and connect hydraulic
equipment. The course will build your skills in
machinery, mechanical principles and mechanical
equipment.
Covering both materials and use of material
testing equipment, the course will also teach
you techniques for writing technical documents.
Assessment is project based so you will apply what
you have learnt to build equipment and systems.
The first semester of the Diploma of Engineering
- Technical (Mechatronics) and the Diploma of
Engineering - Technical (Mechanical) share the same
subjects. You can switch between the two streams
by your choice of electives or by studying additional
electives you could gain both qualifications.
Our mechanical qualifications can be applied over
a wide variety of employment areas including:
• mining & mineral processing
• manufacturing
• oil & gas industry
• automotive industry
• aviation & shipbuilding
• road & rail transport
• defence
• agriculture, fishing & food processing
You can also continue your studies in the Advanced
Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical) and gain
credits towards an Engineering degree.
