MECHANICAL AND MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING
ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL ENGI
Course Aim:
Graduates can apply mechanical engineering principles to determine appropriate ways of approaching mechanical engineering activities, as well as to establish and use criteria to assess processes and outcomes.
Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
Persons achieving this qualification will be able to independently integrate mechanical engineering principles, apply these to determine appropriate ways of approaching activities and establish and use criteria to judge processes and outcomes. This qualification is intended for engineering practitioners in industry.
Professional Registration
The Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
Opportunities:
Graduates work with engineers, designers, technologists and technicians in the design, construction, marketing, installation and maintenance of mechanical equipment. The work is intellectual, demanding the capacity to think independently and to supervise technical and administrative staff. Students follow streams such as manufacturing, maintenance, design, research and they can complete the Government Certificate of Competency (GCC). These streams prepare graduates for employment by mining companies, automotive plants, engineering and production companies, building service contractors and consulting engineers. Graduates also have the knowledge and skills to become entrepreneurs.
Admission requirements:
• A 360 credit Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant qualification at NQF L6
• A 240 credit National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering together with the 120 WIL credits
Students that are registered for relevant NQF level 7 qualifications but did not complete their studies, can be considered. Subject exemptions/recognitions will be subject to the Department’s decision.
All international qualifications must be evaluated by SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) before submission of the application (visit www.saqa.org.za). Once the qualification has been evaluated and the applicant meets the minimum admission requirements (NQF level 6) of the programme the applicant could apply through the normal application process.
Undergraduates
For all Certificate, Diploma and National Diploma applications, consult the General admission requirements.
Some courses require students to submit additional information as part of their application.
