Mechanical Engineering

This programme will see you working in Te Pūkenga NMIT’s Mechanical Engineering workshops learning how to machine, weld and fabricate with metal.

You will explore different facets of mechanical engineering and build projects like rocket stoves, fire pits, engineering tools, garden art or even create your own project.

You will use CAD/CAM software used in the industry to produce engineering drawings and output to our 3D printers to create models and prototypes. You could even progress to manufacture your part on our HAAS CNC machining centre.

This is a very practical, hands-on course so be prepared to get stuck in!

On completion of this course you will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of safety on engineering worksites.
• Demonstrate knowledge of fabrication machinery, materials, and processes.
• Assemble mechanical components under supervision.
• Produce simple engineering component drawings using CAD software.
• Create three-dimensional engineering models using CAD software under supervision.
• Assemble mechanical components under supervision.

Note: Some unit standards may change. Final information on the standards specific to your course will be available prior to starting your programme.
If circumstances change there could be mixed models of delivery e.g online, face to face one day per week or block options.
