Mechanical
A course by
Manukau Institute of Technology
Get qualified to work as an engineering technologist. Learn hands-on skills in designing and manufacturing tools, engines, and machines with a Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Mechanical) from MIT.
In-person study
Face-to-face learning in a physical classroom setting
MIT TechPark, Auckland
It will take a total of 3 years

Use the design process and drawing standards to create effective designs and communicate engineering solutions.

Analyse and solve problems related to forces, moments, stresses, and the behavior of mechanical systems.

Utilize engineering mathematics and computational models to solve complex engineering and scientific tasks.
This three-year degree provides students with a comprehensive education in mechanical engineering technology. The programme blends engineering theory with practical skills, preparing graduates to design, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. Topics include mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, engineering mathematics, fluid mechanics, computational modelling, engineering management, and project work. The programme is designed to meet the benchmarked standards for professional engineers, accredited by Engineering New Zealand.
