Introduction
Mechanical engineers are constantly sought after as there will always be a need for improving, re-designing and inventing equipment in any field of technology.
It can be something as simple as designing a composite fishing rod to something as intricate as developing complex surgical robotic systems. It can span almost every industry from energy generation to biomedical and even consumer goods.
With so many career choices, you know that our Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (ME) will take you places!
You will receive a strong foundation to become a competent mechanical engineer. While it is a practical and hands-on course, the tools of the trade have expanded to reflect advances in technology. You will learn the latest computational skills and stay at the forefront of the industry.
The course has a strong emphasis on design so that you will be able to provide valueadded engineering services like the generation and use of energy, creation of new materials, process design, and the manufacture of products ranging from home appliances to biomedical devices.
The final year allows you to pursue either discipline-specific options in Biomedical Applications, Design Innovation, Photonics & Laser Technology, and Cleanroom & Energy Systems, or business-related options in Business Management and Marketing & Entrepreneurship. With our extensive and strong industry links, you can also opt for a six-month industrial attachment, either locally or overseas.
Career Prospects
You will begin your career as a technologist with good employment prospects. Join marine, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, precision engineering, electronics, power generation, logistics management, condominium or resort facilities maintenance management industries and many more.
Accreditation for Further Studies
The diploma is recognised by many tertiary institutions, making it easy for you to pursue further studies. You can enjoy direct entry to the second year in mechanical engineering and other engineering courses, such as aerospace, bioengineering and materials engineering, in local and overseas universities.
Get up to two years’ exemption from overseas universities such as the University of Manchester and University of New South Wales. In UK and Australia, our graduates with an average grade of B+ are typically granted a two-year exemption for a mechanical engineering degree programme.
NP graduates make up a significant number of the polytechnic graduates who have gained entry to relevant degree courses in local universities. Our students have also pursued degree programmes in business or computer engineering.
