Diploma of Engineering - Technical | South Metropolitan TAFE

National ID: MEM50212 | State ID: J367

Are you ready for a technically advanced engineering career?

Advance your career with a technical engineering qualification. The Diploma of Engineering - Technical covers a diverse range of theoretical and technical skills for pursuing a career in the mechanical, mechatronic, manufacturing and maintenance engineering fields. This course emphasises the transfer of theoretical concepts to practical real-life applications to ensure our students graduate with job-ready skills.

Gain these skills:

engineering drafting and design
analytical work involving manufacturing and fabrication techniques
application of engineering principles, systems and processes
drawing and designing mechanical equipment
maintain mechanical systems
workplace health and safety

Completion of this course opens up a range of further study options, and may also produce advanced standing towards a relevant university degree.

Engineering Draftsperson/Technician

Mechanical Engineer Assistant | Automation

Mechanical Engineering is the most broadly based branch of engineering. Mechanical Engineers oversee all aspects of the design, development, installation, operation and maintenance of machinery. Examples of areas in which Mechanical Engineers work are Mining and Resource industries, Power generation, Manufacturing, Transportation, Refrigeration and Air conditioning , Technical sales and Consulting, Ship design and construction, and Aviation and Aerospace.

Please note this list should be used as a guide only as job titles and qualification requirements may vary between organisations.

SM TAFE actively promotes the employment availability of course graduates to key industry partners and organisations. We also seek expressions of interest from organisations for the placement of our students into work experience. We endeavour to assist students into a career pathway, but please be aware that neither employment nor work experience placement is guaranteed by us.
