Specialist Diploma in Mechanical Engineering

Gain Critical Skills To Enter The Mechanical Engineering Industry

Mechanical engineering is an incredibly diverse field where people range from totally unqualified individuals to extremely qualified professionals.

However so many routes within the trade are not defined. One example is that the people who fix air conditioners  in your home can also be expected to calculate the heat tolerance of an airplane. 

But what can be done is broad generalizations and generalized skills to ensure that the students career has a broad application and wide opportunity for a variety of roles and success. This is what we aim to achieve with our Specialist Diploma.

Modules:

• Skills For Higher Education
  When you progress from high school to university, there is a dramatic shift in the content, the way you learn, the way you have to think, and the way you are assessed.

• Rather than let you figure it out for yourself, we jump start the process with this module.

• Mathematics For Technology
  Math is the language of engineers. You have to speak the language! Math might scare you but not after this module. Get the fundamentals right so we can build on a strong foundation.

• Materials And Manufacturing
  One of the first few things that you’ll be expected to do is to understand the materials used in your project (literally any kind of project!) and also how they are put together.

• We’ve selected this module to be the start of your journey into Mechanical engineering because it’s usually a module that is overlooked and assumed knowledge. Be one of the few that really do know!

• Mechanics
  Once you’ve learned about the materials, we want to start assembling them. This could be a building construction or it could be a simple product construction. In both cases, natural forces act on the build and it’s components.

• This forms a sort of project-like module where all your Specialist Diploma content comes together like working in teams, doing precise mathematical calculations, analysis of materials, and selecting methods that fit the project requirements.
