Programme Description

The aim of this programme is to provide learners with the competence required to be able to join the Bachelor of Engineering programme and the Bachelor of Civil & Structural Engineering programme through the enhancement of knowledge, skills and competences in mathematics and physics. The programme also includes elective study units in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, design studio and programming through sound theoretical and extensive hands-on approaches. This programme can also act as an exit point at MQF Level 5 for Advanced Diploma graduates, thus enabling successful candidates to achieve middle management engineering positions.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the programme the learner will be able to:

1. Understand physics relating to Engineering Technology.
   2. Use mechanical and electrical engineering principals to perform engineering functions.
   3. Select the best materials for specific tasks, based on their chemical and physical properties.
   4. Use mathematical principles to solve engineering problems.
