Lower tuition fees apply and employment prospects are higher." /></p> <p>This course will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge in electrical machinery, mechanical principles and mechanical equipment to produce drawings for design specifications.</p> <p>Gaining a range of computer aided drafting (CAD) skills, you will be able to interpret and create drawings components for the manufacture of equipment. Learning about fluid power will give you the skills and knowledge to set up and connect hydraulic equipment.</p> <p>Mechanical engineering is applied across a wide variety of employment areas including:</p> <ul><li>Mining and mineral processing</li> <li>Manufacturing</li> <li>Oil and gas industry</li> <li>Automotive industry</li> <li>Aviation and shipbuilding industries</li> <li>Electrical power generation and distribution</li> <li>Road and rail transport</li> <li>Defence</li> <li>Agriculture, fishing and food processing</li> </ul><p>The <strong>Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechanical)</strong> shares the same first semester with the <strong>Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechatronics)</strong>. In simple terms, mechanical and mechatronics have many common elements, but as the name suggests mechanical is more geared toward mechanical design but does have some electrical, electronics and programming content. With the completion of two additional units you will be able achieve <strong>both</strong> the Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechanical) <strong>and</strong> the Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechatronics).</p> <p>Speak to your lecturer about this dual pathway once you have finished the first semester of your studies.;</p> <div class="c-accordion"> <div class="c-accordion-title">UNITS</div> <div class="c-accordion-content"> <p><strong>Core Units - Common to both</strong></p> <table class="overview" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Unit Title</th> <th scope="col">National ID</th> <th scope="col">Unit of Study</th> </tr><tr><td>Apply mathematical techniques in a manufacturing engineering or related</td> <td>MEM30012A</td> <td>W5428</td> </tr><tr><td>Interact with computing technology</td> <td>MEM16008A</td> <td>W5452</td> </tr><tr><td>Organise and communicate information</td> <td>MEM16006A</td> <td>W5451</td> </tr><tr><td>Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices</td> <td>MSAENV272B</td> <td>D3655</td> </tr><tr><td>Select common engineering materials</td> <td>MEM30007A</td> <td>AWA02</td> </tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Elective Units</strong></p> <table class="overview" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Unit Title</th> <th scope="col">National ID</th> <th scope="col">Unit of Study</th> </tr><tr><td>Apply technical mathematics</td> <td>MEM23004A</td> <td>WE917</td> </tr><tr><td>Calculate force systems within simple beam structures</td> <td>MEM30005A</td> <td>W5444</td> </tr><tr><td>Calculate stresses in simple structures</td> <td>MEM30006A</td> <td>W5445</td> </tr><tr><td>Contribute to the design of basic mechanical systems</td> <td>MEM30009A</td> <td>W5448</td> </tr><tr><td>Coordinate engineering projects</td> <td>MEM22013A</td> <td>WE912</td> </tr><tr><td>Operate computer-aided (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements </td> <td>MEM30031A</td> <td>WE078</td> </tr><tr><td>Perform laboratory procedures</td> <td>MEM15010B</td> <td>W5520</td> </tr><tr><td>Perform mechanical engineering design drafting</td> <td>MEM09157A</td> <td>WE901</td> </tr><tr><td>Integrate manufacturing fundamentals into an engineering task</td> <td>MEM14091A</td> <td>WE909</td> </tr><tr><td>Produce basic engineering drawings</td> <td>MEM30032A</td> <td>WE079</td> </tr><tr><td>Select electrical equipment and components for engineering applications</td> <td>MEM23111A</td> <td>WE926</td> </tr><tr><td>Set up basic hydraulic circuits</td> <td>MEM30010A</td> <td>W5262</td> </tr><tr><td>Investigate electrical and electronic controllers in engineering applications </td> <td>MEM23112A</td> <td>WE927</td> </tr><tr><td>Use computer-aided design (CAD) to create and display 3D models</td> <td>MEM30033A</td> <td>WE080</td> </tr><tr><td>Use workshop equipment and processes to complete an engineering project </td> <td>MEM30029A</td> <td>WE970</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> </div> </div></div></div>
