Mechanical Engineering
Course Overview
This three-year comprehensive program is designed to provide students with practical, industry-aligned skills in mechanical engineering. Focusing on key areas such as system maintenance, product design, and fault diagnostics, students will gain the theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience necessary for success in the field. With a focus on both foundational principles and advanced applications, this diploma ensures that graduates are well-prepared to tackle real-world engineering challenges across industries. Key Topics Include: • Mechanical Systems Maintenance • Product Design and Manufacture • Fault Diagnosis & Repair • Thermodynamics & Fluid Mechanics • Mechanical Measurement & Inspection Technology By the end of the program, graduates will be proficient in maintaining, designing, and analyzing mechanical systems while demonstrating strong problem-solving skills, adherence to industry safety standards, and expertise in engineering practices. The program’s instructor-led onsite training ensures students gain valuable, real-world experience, making them indispensable assets to any mechanical engineering team.
Those with a General Education Certificate who wish to pursue vocational studies.
Candidates looking for admission to the programme must have attained at least a General Education Diploma (Grade 12) from the Sultanate of Oman or its equivalent qualification approved by the Omani MoHERI (Ministry of Higher Education Research and innovation) In all cases, it is required for the candidates to undergo a pre-assessment to establish their current academic level, especially in English, Engineering Mathematics, Science and ICT.
Candidates on successful completion of the three-year programme are entitled to a ‘Vocational Diploma” attested by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
