Diploma in Mechanical Engineering

  Institution: Linton University College

Diploma in Mechanical Engineering course examines the basic areas of mechanical engineering, design, materials and manufacturing technology. It aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge required for a career as a mechanical engineering technician. Modules studied including Engineering principles, Mathematics, Computing, Engineering and the environment, Mechanical science and Mechanics of materials.

Students are actively encouraged to participate in acquiring work experience during the course and this usually takes the form of a work-based project ideally involving the solution of a real industrial problem with a mechanical engineering theme.

Students will be able to follow a career in a wide range of manufacturing, processing and service industries, supporting the work of professional engineers. Using the ‘hands-on’ approach, this programme has good employment prospect within and outside Malaysia.
