Program Overview
The program is designed to support the growth in demand for human resource in the mechanical engineering discipline. This program provides students the essential knowledge of mechanical engineering such as design studies, system analysis, thermodynamics, principles of fluid mechanics, engineering materials and manufacturing technology.
The integrated approach of this program equips students with a range of skills and knowledge that is valuable for future careers. Graduates of this program are capable of performing tasks in manufacturing or production sectors, power generation, oil and gas, transportation (train, naval, aircraft) maintenance and air conditioner servicing.
This part qualification is aimed primarily at giving the learner technical, theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and workplace knowledge and skills required in their chosen occupational/vocational area.
The design of the part qualification is such that if taken sequentially with related N part courses i.e. N4+N5+N6, it enables learners to progressively obtain the National N Diploma once the required practical work component of either 18 months or two years, as required for the specific occupational area, is completed.
