structural engineering & manufacturing

This Certificate II in Engineering Pathways is a Flexible Industry Pathway (FIP) and is partially funded by the South Australian Government. The qualification covers fabrication and machining, to introduce students to the specialised engineering fields of work, including fabrication, machining, sheet metal and manufacturing processes. In this pre-apprenticeship course, you will explore future options within the diverse engineering and manufacturing sector.

Engineers are involved in the technical design and construction of large infrastructure such as mining equipment, aircrafts, electronics and more.

There are many sub-industries in Engineering, including Civil, Aircraft, Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Electrotechnology, Boating Services, Fabrication Engineering.

Engineers have good attention to detail and love building and improving the way things work. You’ll need to have strong skills in mathematics and science and also be able to work as part of a team.

You will become skilled at welding (Oxy/Acetylene, MIG [Metal Inert Gas], TIG [Tungsten Inert Gas], MMA [Manual Metal Arc]), cutting, shaping and manufacturing metal structures and components, machining using lathes and milling machines as well as design.
