GRADUATE

PROFILE

Certificate in Motorsport

Possum Bourne Motorsport, New Zealand

“I wanted an exciting career where I didn’t have to spend a lot

of time behind a desk. So when I found out MIT were offering a

course in Motorsport I leapt at the chance to enrol. The course

tutors were great and helped me to develop as a person and

to set higher goals for myself. They also assisted me in getting

a foot in the door of the industry with an apprenticeship at

Possum Bourne Motorsport. The best part of the course at MIT

was learning how to build cars and then swap out motors under

time restraints in race conditions. It’s really exciting.”

Welcome to the

Faculty of Engineering

and Trades

Do you like to be creative and work with your hands? Are you

interested in how and why things work? Do you want to pull

apart, repair and put machines/cars back together? Or do you

want to craft/construct new gadgets? You can do all this and

more as a skilled tradesperson or applied engineer.

Trades are becoming increasingly high-tech as systems and

machinery more complex and sophisticated – you’ll need the

latest skills and knowledge to keep up. If it's cars, buildings,

fabrication, welding or refrigeration that are your passion, the

Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) Faculty of Engineering

and Trades has the programme for you.

The trades are crying out for talented well-trained staff, and

our Schools have some of the finest lectures and facilities

in New Zealand to help you become an expert in your field.

We’ve heavily invested in the best resources and have

extensive workshops fitted out with the latest equipment for

you to get practical up-to-the-minute training.

Our expert teachers are committed to delivering top-quality

education and training. We have strong links with industry

and work with well-known companies and industry training

organisations (ITOs) to ensure you have the skills that are

highly sought after by employers.

The School of Automotive and Vehicle Technology runs one of

the largest and most innovative programmes in New Zealand.

We have fully equipped workshops and two downdraft spray

booths/ovens at the Manukau campus. If you want to work

in a pit crew or as a Race Engineer, we have Motorsport

programmes conveniently located in Pukekohe, with the

Pukekohe Park Raceway just a short drive away. You can race

your specially modified vehicle at the end of your training. Our

strong industry links include closely working with well-known

companies such as Audi, Honda, Toyota.

Construction and Infrastructure will help you build a better

future. There is a constant demand for skilled builders,

carpenters and tradesmen, even more so as Auckland

continues to expand. We have fully equipped workshops

and our students work on practical building projects located

on-site at MIT. That means you’ll enter the industry with

experience working on residential style buildings.

Mechanical Trades has brand-new courses available in

fabrication and mechanical engineering (machining and

tool making) to keep pace with a rapidly changing industry.

We also offer qualifications in welding, and a Diploma in

Computer Integrated Manufacture, which allows you to add

technologies such as CNC, CAD and CAM to your engineering

skills.

If you want a career that is going places, where every day is

different and you won’t be stuck behind a desk, then come

and see us today.

that require specialised mechanical engineering skills.

It provides a solid foundation in areas such as health

and safety, measurement and tolerancing, tools,

materials and metals, sketching, drawing interpretation,

trade calculations, mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics,

machining, welding, fitting, assembly, and job costing.

Students then specialise in either General Engineering

or Machining.

The General Engineering strand is for those who would

like to be employed in a general engineering workshop

where the work may involve fitting, machining, welding,

maintenance, repair, hydraulics, pneumatics, marine or rail

engineering, fabrication, or gunsmithing.

The Machining strand is for those who would like to be

working with heavier gauge plate, sections and pipes,

to produce a wide variety of products including pressure

vessels.

The Light Fabrication strand is for fabricators working

with sheet metals and lighter gauge plate, sections and

pipes to produce a large variety of metal products.

The Steel Construction strand is similar to the Heavy

Fabrication strand, but is specifically for fabricators who

manufacture and install structural steel components for

building and civil engineering projects.
