MEM20422 Certificate II in Engineering Pathways
This pre-employment program has been designed for someone who enjoys problem solving, likes working with their hands and likes working in a team environment. The course will provide successful students with a raft of transferrable skills that can be used across a number of trade disciplines. You will have the ability to cut, shape, bend, and mould metal products to fabricate parts. You will need to set up and operate handheld and machine tools including computer aided machines. You will assemble parts and structures by measuring and lining up and joining them by, bolting, riveting, or using adhesives. At the completion you will need to finish your product by cleaning, polishing, or by applying protective or decorative coatings.
This program applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to structured on-the-job learning in a workplace may not be available. This qualification is intended for simulated work environments.
This program is intended for people interested in exposure the robotics and automation of the engineering related working environment with a view of entering employment in this area. It will equip graduates with knowledge and skills which will enhance their prospects for an apprenticeship, traineeships or general employment in an engineering-related workplace.
Although there will be some theory component to this course the course will be structured around a major practical project. Understanding 2D & 3D design packages will be a key element for this program as 3D printers will be used to prototype the project. Programming skills around robotics will also be a major component in getting you project to come to life. Once the 1st stage of the project is completed students will need to research, design and then develop their own ideas around automation and robotics.

An Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits.
Students must be employed in a role that enables them access to appropriate workplace tasks.
AIE will confirm the suitability of the learner's employment prior to commencement.
There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
For this course you will need to have access to the below equipment.
Computer/Laptop
- Internet Access
Participants are assessed via completion of required tasks and a demonstration of skills e.g. written, verbal, assignments, practical work, classroom participation and projects.
This program is to be delivered in a classroom-based environment and in a simulated work environment at the RTO’s site – known as the Engineering Workshop (to provide access to appropriate environments for the practical components of the course).
The simulated work environment typically reflects:
- The use of full scale equipment
- Performing tasks similar to those performed in the workplace
- Performing tasks within the same timelines that would be expected in the workplace
It will also be achieved by:
- Accessible compliance documentation (SOPs, SDS, Operator manual)
- Various types of materials. Machines and tools
- Emphasis on effective communication to encourage team work
- Designated areas for using tools and machining items
Learners will also be supplied with Learner Guides for each unit delivered and will work through the learning activities during self-study time. Learning activities will give learners the opportunity to practice and prepare for assessments.
Delivery of theory content
Students will also be required to allocate some study time to undertake reading and learning activities outside of the scheduled sessions (e.g. self-directed learning through the online portal).
All theory content will occur within designated classrooms at the RTO’s site. This will be delivered through structured training sessions from a qualified Trainer / Assessor employed by the RTO. At these training sessions a qualified Trainer/ Assessor will provide the required skills and knowledge as per the unit content and will ensure the learning is imparted. The Trainer/Assessor will have designated session plans to reference to ensure the learning content is provided consistently to all students. (Please see individual Unit of Competency Session Plans for further details).
Delivery of Practical Skills
As part of this course students will also be required to undertake practical activities related to the course content. For such practical components / skills, the Trainer will ensure the students have access to the simulated environment at the RTO (The Engineering Workshop) for practical training to occur.
Students are not able to partake in the practical training unless they are wearing appropriate PPEs.
During any practical application, students are rotated through the equipment and spend minimal time not involved in practical activities. All tools and equipment are utilised at all times, giving students optimal access to develop the skills required to gain competency.
Students will be monitored for their operating ability and use of machines / equipment and will be assessed on this ability. Students requiring any additional operating practice will be advised (where possible) of the scheduled practice availability. The simulated work environment will be operating at full capacity at all times, and students will be rotated through machines/ equipment.
Please refer to individual unit sessions plans for further details on the practical training provided to students and the time allocation.
