What is your next education pathway?

The Higher National Diploma in Electro-Mechanical Engineering is a comprehensive programme designed for students interested in the dynamic intersection of electrical and mechanical engineering. This course offers in-depth training in the principles and practices of both fields, equipping students with the knowledge to work with a range of electro-mechanical systems and technologies.

Students will gain hands-on experience in areas such as electrical circuits, power generation, automation, control systems, robotics, and mechanical design. The programme emphasizes practical problem-solving and the application of theory to real-world engineering challenges. Students will also develop key skills in using industry-standard software, conducting experiments, and managing engineering projects.

Upon completion, graduates will be prepared to take on technical roles in industries like manufacturing, robotics, energy, and automation. They will be capable of designing, maintaining, and optimizing complex electro-mechanical systems, and will have the necessary skills to address challenges in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The HND in Electro-Mechanical Engineering provides a solid foundation for those pursuing a career as an electro-mechanical engineer, technician, or other related roles in the engineering sector.

Completing the Higher National diploma in Electro-Mechanical Engineering leads to the degree program, BSc (Hons) in Electro-Mechanical Engineering offered by Coventry University, UK. Students are able to complete all 4 years fully at NIBM Colombo Campus.
