About this Course
The MEM80125 Graduate Diploma of Engineering at NECTA in Parramatta, Sydney, is a
nationally recognised qualification for high-level supervisory technicians and technical
officers in manufacturing and engineering. It covers mechanical, mechatronics,
manufacturing, maintenance and HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration) work, in one discipline or across a broad field.
Core study covers integrating engineering technologies, maintaining and applying
technical and engineering skills, and developing workplace policy for environmental
sustainability. Electives build advanced skills in machine and systems design, finite
element analysis, advanced mathematics, project and materials management, quality and
technical documentation.
The course runs for 78 weeks (CRICOS 121491C) and is open to international students
who meet the national entry requirements and NECTA’s own requirements. It suits
people who already hold an engineering diploma, a relevant trade qualification with
significant experience, or a degree. No licensing applies to the qualification at
publication.
Integrate engineering technologies
