Graduate Diploma in Engineering with strands in Mechatronics, Electronics, Power and Mechanical

The aim of the Graduate Diploma in Engineering is to create a set of multi-disciplinary technology professionals who have the ability to undertake the high-level design, specification and project management within a specific selection of subject areas. In addition, the Graduate Diploma will provide technology professionals with multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge covering a number of strands including Mechatronics, Electronics, Power and Mechanical. This range of knowledge will enable graduates to provide optimal design solutions by being able to compare and evaluate the differing alternatives provided by, and within, each discipline area. They will have an understanding of the practical application of each discipline and the technical skills to specify and manage projects. The Graduate Diploma in Engineering aims to cater for engineering graduates and working engineering professionals wishing to gain further specialist knowledge in a discipline area. The Graduate Diploma aims to cater for both full and part time students primarily but not exclusively from the Auckland region and abroad, including: * Engineering professionals currently employed with relevant industry experience wishing to upskill in a further engineering specialisation: broaden their engineering knowledge; update their current knowledge base * Degree graduates - (domestic and international) wishing to supplement their previous area of study. * As this is a Graduate Diploma, we are not likely to see a lot of Under 25's however, we will be targeting to get as many Maori Pasifika onto our feeder programmes. The School of Engineering is currently delivering a pilot tertiary pathway programme with local schools to increase the number of Maori, Pasifika and youth who will meet the entry criteria for the feeder programmes (3 + 2 model). The 3 + 2 model is an initiative where year 13 high school students attend high school for 3 days per week, and an ITP for 2 days per week. The days at school will have a focus on maths and physics which are required for entry into professional engineering programmes. The 2 days at MIT will be applied Electrical and Mechanical Engineering courses which will also prepare students for a career as a professional engineer.

MIT is one of the largest providers of technical, vocational, and professional education in New Zealand, and has been awarded the highest possible rating, Category One, by the NZQA.

MIT has five campuses across Auckland, with a wide range of subjects for you to choose from. Our campuses and study facilities are located right in the heart of the industry — giving you access to the skills, networks and contacts you need.

MIT exists to transform lives. No matter where you are in your life or student journey, MIT has a place for you.
