Diploma in Engineering Technology (Precision Engineering)

The Diploma in Engineering Technology (Precision Engineering) whose purpose is to prepare a student in 5 semesters to work as a precision engineering technician, while offering an opportunity to continue his/her education according to a personal and professional development plan.

overview

Precision engineering is a specialist branch of mechanical engineering which involves the design and manufacture of complex products, machines, tools and instruments, whose parts must be precisely correct in size and shape, have exceptionally tight tolerances and be produced repeatedly to exact specifications.

The Diploma in Engineering Technology (Precision Engineering) will make use of advancing technologies to create even smaller, more precise components, and manufacturing of innovative devices and systems.
