 Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (N41) 


 

  • 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





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 design thinking 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 Thinking and Practice in our curriculum will give you an edge in jobs that involve creating innovative solutions for harnessing clean energy, developing new materials and processes, and designing and manufacturing of 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, A*STAR Research Institute, and the University of South Australia. Or you can opt to take on a final-year project to design and develop a new product prototype with real-world application.

Minor in Business Management
Delivered by Ngee Ann’s School of Business & Accountancy – Singapore’s premier 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!


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 the chemical and precision engineering sectors.


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 and Materials Engineering
    • Bachelor of 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
    • Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechatronics

  • University of Manchester (UK)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

  • University of Warwick (UK)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

  • University of New South Wales (Australia)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

  • University of Queensland (Australia)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

  • University of Melbourne (Australia)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering


You can also apply for non-engineering degree courses. The Minor in Business Management will give you a head-start when applying for such courses.

Here are more details on the degree options and advanced standing at the universities - locally and overseas.
