Overview

About this course

The Diploma of Engineering Technology, 22478VIC, is an Australian qualification issued by Chisholm Institute, Melbourne, and delivered at CINEC Campus over two years. It has two specialisations, mechanical and fabrication, and is designed to qualify graduates for paraprofessional roles in engineering, manufacturing and related industries. The mechanical route, taken with the Certificate III Engineering (Mechanical Trade), covers mechanical and thermal cutting, marking out, tool making, general machining, maintenance and workplace safety. The fabrication route, taken with the Certificate III Engineering (Fabrication Trade), adds welding principles, fabrication, forming and shaping, and computer-aided drafting. Core units include technical drawing, engineering measurements, computing, materials, CAD systems and advanced technology in manufacturing. CINEC lists machinist, fitter, welder, toolmaker, maintenance engineer and production manager among the roles open to graduates.
