Foundation/PathwayEngineering
Diploma of Engineering - Technical
South Metropolitan TAFE, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
Pursue your career in a wide range of engineering fields by completing this qualification. This course will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge in electrical machinery, mechanical principles and mechanical equipment to produce drawings for design specifications.
Learn how to use and operate computer-aided design (CAD) to produce drawings and create 3-D models, set up basic hydraulic circuits, apply technical mathematics and produce basic engineering design drawings. In addition, you will coordinate engineering projects and learn environmentally sustainable work practices.
On completion of this course you will be able to work in a number of different engineering related careers including mining and mineral processing, manufacturing, the oil and gas industry and the automotive industry.
If you're considering advancing your engineering studies to an advanced diploma level in either mechanical or electrical streams, choosing Munster campus is highly recommended for this diploma course. It's important to note that the Munster campus is the sole campus location accredited by Engineers Australia (EA).
If you are interested in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) specialisation at the advanced diploma level it is recommended that you choose Carlisle campus. This program offers tailored elective units designed to equip you with the precise knowledge and practical skills required for this field. The facility at Carlisle campus is Western Australia's premier centre for HVAC and associated studies and the purpose-built facility is amongst the best in the southern hemisphere.
