Advance your skills by performing detailed mechanical engineering drafting and design and administering the maintenance and installation of a range of machinery.

International students will have the opportunity to complete the program on campus through practical training and assessment and on-the-job placements.

Opportunity exists for 18-month post-study work visa. This makes the student job-ready.

Existing engineers currently employed in the industry may be eligible to complete the program through:

• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or
• QLD Government Funded Program (QLD residents only)

Course Overview

This course will give students a deeper knowledge in engineering concepts. It will involve the study of science and mathematics. Students will get real engineering work experience by taking part in realistic projects using our industry parallel computing facilities and student mechanical workshop.

Students will learn and apply higher level post-trade skills including:

• Mechanical and mechatronic engineering principles and processes
• Engineering drafting
• Quality systems
• Project management and teamwork
• Maintenance and management strategies
