The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is designed for those who want to work with future technologies and market trends in New Zealand. A student who is keen to propose mechanical (automotive or mechatronic) engineering solutions; wants to develop, deploy, test and commission automated systems for industry, contemporary motor vehicles, and smart buildings; and design and manufacture automotive and electromechanical components, may join this Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (with strands in Automotive Engineering and Mechatronics and Control Systems) level 7 programme.
The proposed program is a two-year qualification with 240 credits. The program includes core, elective and specialisation papers. The core papers include engineering mathematics, engineering management, lean methodology, and a final project. The program also offers elective papers to develop a foundation for the learners in one of the two specialisations.
