Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Lateral Entry) is designed for students who have already completed a relevant technical qualification, such as a polytechnic diploma, and wish to continue their education in the field of mechanical engineering. This course typically spans 3 years and provides a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles, materials science, thermodynamics, manufacturing processes, and mechanical design. Students will also gain hands-on experience through practical projects and industrial training, preparing them for various roles in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace. The lateral entry system allows students to join the program directly into the second year, offering a streamlined path to advanced knowledge and skills in mechanical engineering, helping them to secure rewarding career opportunities.
