Giving you that something xtra

Strong emphasis on design gives you the edge in careers with a focus on innovation
The only polytechnic diploma in mechanical engineering to offer a specialisation option in Automotive Technology & Motorsports
A Minor in Business Management offers more exciting career and degree opportunities

About the Diploma

Ever bought a new gadget and thought, “If I had made this, I’d have added this function and that button...?” Well, now you can. With the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (ME), you will be equipped with skills to create, innovate and design products for diverse sectors.

Extremely versatile, this broad-based diploma will open doors to a wide array of careers as most products and systems depend on some aspects of mechanical engineering to work.

What’s more, a strong emphasis on design will give you an advantage when it comes to jobs that involve generating and using energy, creating new materials, or designing and manufacturing products that range from home appliances to medical devices.

In your final year, you will go on a local or overseas internship with established organisations such as ST Kinetics, the Data Storage Institute of Singapore, AMTEK (Suzhou) Precision Technology Ltd and University of South Australia.

Minor in Business Management
Delivered by Ngee Ann’s School of Business & Accountancy – the most established polytechnic business school – these business modules will equip you with what you need to be an entrepreneur, manager or marketing guru. Paired with your strong foundation in engineering, this optional minor will ensure that you enjoy a far wider range of exciting career and degree opportunities!

Career Prospects

With your solid foundation in engineering and your specialisation giving you sought-after skills, you will enjoy excellent job prospects in diverse industries.

These include the marine, aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, power generation, consumer products, logistics management and electronics industries as well as sectors in chemical and precision engineering.

Further Studies

As this diploma is highly recognised, you may be granted direct admission into the second year of engineering courses in local universities. Most foreign universities also grant our graduates advanced standing. Some examples are :

Nanyang Technological University
- Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical, Aerospace or Materials Engineering
- Bachelor of Engineering in Bioengineering
National University of Singapore
- Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering
Singapore Institute of Technology & the University of Glasgow (UK)
- Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Design Engineering
