In this three-year degree, you'll learn in well equipped facilities alongside like-minded students. Perhaps you'll end up in renewable energies, working with robots or in the automotive industry. You'll learn how engineers can help solve real life problems. You'll also find out how to cost and analyse project resources, conduct tests and research and gather and analyse data. You'll use these skills to make important decisions and write reports. You'll have a hands-on role in the construction process, in whichever industries you choose to work. You'll be involved in design specification, development, research, evaluation, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, maintenance and management of machines and systems.

Career Opportunities As a mechanical engineering technologist you will apply the principles of physics and mechanical science to the design and construction of all forms of mechanical systems. A degree in mechanical engineering technology will allow you to gain employment in a vast range of industries including machine design, generation of power and renewable energy, robotic applications, automotive, quality and process control, and manufacturing systems operation. As an engineering technologist you will work with a professional engineer to put predetermined theory into practice and assist in identifying which solution will best deliver the required outcome. You will work in a hands-on role in the construction process. Under direction of a professional engineer you will be involved in design specification, development, research, evaluation, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, maintenance and management of machines and systems. This will include, but not be limited to, mechanical and mechatronic systems, automated systems and robotic devices, heat transfer processes, thermodynamic and combustion systems; and fluid and thermal energy systems.
