INTRODUCTION

Update your mechanical engineering skills or gain new insight in the field of mechanical engineering by undertaking this Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology. The focus is on real-world, practical systems typically encountered by mechanical engineers worldwide.

This 18 month e-learning programme will provide you with core skills in working with mechanical engineering technology and systems and to take advantage of the growing for trained and skilled personnel in industry. This course is composed of 72 topics which cover five engineering threads to provide you with maximum practical coverage in the field of mechanical engineering. The topics that will be covered during this Diploma covers the core fundaments of mechanical engineering, which is then expanded to specific topics such as pumps, compressors, lifts, lubrication, control, automation etc. Ultimately, all this newly gained knowledge is combined with a unit on practical project management for engineers, a skill that is as vital as the technical skills required by industry today.

The course is designed to benefit those mechanical engineers wishing to enhance or update some of their skills and knowledge, as well as non-mechanical engineers and technicians who work in an environment where they often encounter mechanical systems.

The five threads running through this program are:

1. Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering Technologies
2. Applications of Mechanical Engineering Technologies
3. Energy Systems
4. Industrial Automation
5. Management
