TA202 - Higher Certificate in Engineering - Electro-Mechanical Engineering
About the Course
Graduates in electro-mechanical engineering are educated across the common ground between mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Electro-mechanical graduates work with the electronic and computer control systems which drive the efficient and reliable operation of equipment. Electro-mechanical engineers are the experts with automatic systems that monitor process plants for breakdowns and faults.
With their expertise in computing, in electrical, in electronics and in core mechanical engineering knowledge the electro-mechanical graduates manufacture, monitor and maintain working systems which meet the safety and reliability levels we now take for granted. A student may exit to employment after achieving the Higher Certificate award or progress to achieve further academic awards.

Career Opportunities
Businesses and other organisations depend on complex electronic and mechanical equipment.
Electromechanical systems contribute to almost every area of engineering. The Electromechanical
technician is trained to conduct routine maintenance checks, referring to wiring diagrams, engineering
drawings, automation and fluid equipment as well as service manuals to find the source of a problem.
The technician will also be trained to use various testing equipment such as voltmeters, oscilloscopes,
signal generators and frequency counters.
