Diploma of Engineering - Technical

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Love designing and developing machines? Want to create the future of mobile phones, solar-energy systems and aircraft? FedUni's one-year Diploma of Engineering (Technical) will make you a highly skilled technician in turning energy into power and motion, whether it's for your future career in hydraulic power, robotics, ergonomics or even teaching these skills.

During your studies, you'll experiment with plasma cutters, 3D printers and the latest technologies as they are developed. You'll also set up circuits, calculate force systems within structures and perform computations.

Your subjects will take you through the areas of robotics, industrial automation, control technologies, advanced manufacturing technology, 2D CAD drafting and 3D solid modelling; preparing you for work in automotive, aviation, food, mining sectors, manufacturing and fabrication sectors.

From there, the sky's the limit for where you want to specialise. Perhaps you'll become the modern day Sir Isaac Newton. And if you decide you'd like to further your studies, you'll have earned credits towards FedUni's Bachelor of Engineering degrees.
