The Associate Degree in Engineering Technology is an exit qualification of the Bachelor in engineering technology and it stands at NQF level 7. It is available for the Bachelor of Engineering technology students that have completed the 3^rd year of their studies. 

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Programme offered at Bahrain Polytechnic is composed of five Qualifications; the Mechanical Major, the Electronics Major, the Electrical Major, the electromechanical major and the Communications and networks major Each of these qualifications, also have their own exit qualification which is an Associate Degree in Engineering Technology of 360 credits. 

The Associate Degree Qualification reflects the needs of the rapid and modern developments in Electromechanical, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, sustainability and Control that are happening nationally, regionally and internationally. It has a significant industrial focus on the petrochemical, aluminum and manufacturing Industries which are widely present in Bahrain. Students gain advanced theoretical knowledge and specialist practical skills in the areas of mechanics (static, structural and dynamic), workshop practice, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, engineering design, circuits design, digital devices, electrical machines and drives, instrumentation, control systems, power electronics and systems, design and installation of electromechanical systems and the important Engineering software packages MatLab and LabView and 3Dimensional modeling software. The Associate Degree in Engineering Technology (Electromechanical) is designed as an exit qualification for students who are unable to complete the full requirements of the degree, but have achieved core technical skills and knowledge after a minimum of 3 years full-time study.

General entry requirements such as secondary school achievements, English and Mathematics are described in the Student Admission Policy A/AB/010. Specific entry requirements for the ENT8050 Bachelor of Engineering Teachnology (Electromechanical) Programme, beyond those described in the Student Admission Policy are as follows:

Academic

Successful completion of

• AP4203 English 2

• AP4102 Mathematics 2 (Technical)  

or

Passing English and Mathematics selection tests at the required level or equivalent.

The Associate Degree in Engineering Technology (Electromechanical) is an exit qualification of the corresponded Bachelor program and the students gain entry via the BEngTech above requirements. 

N/A (exit qualification of the BEngTech program)

N/A (exit qualification of the BEngTech program)

The mechanical, electronics and electrical engineering technology majors have been submitted for potential IET, UK accreditation, receiving “confidence” at the 1^st initial related review. It is expected that the accreditation visit will take place within 2021. The new electromechanical and communications and networks engineering technology majors will be submitted for similar international accreditation during 2022 or after the first completion of all offered courses subject to the accreditation body’s requirement and review. 

Attendance requirements are described in the policy Student Attendance A/AB/010.

The Associate degree in the Electromechanical Engineering technology qualification is an exit qualification of the corresponded BEngTech. It is a technically strong qualification that aims to provide for the needs industry nationally, regionally and internationally for engineering technicians.  The qualification has a  combination of electrical, mechanical and electronics engineering knowledge and skills upon which graduates can build to reflect the wide range of fields and industries that are present locally and regionally.  There is emphasis on solid mechanics, thermodynamics and  electrical machines to suit the petrochemical, aluminum and manufacturing industries.
Students gain advanced theoretical knowledge and specialist practical skills in the areas of Mechanics (static, structural and Dynamic), workshop practice, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, engineering design, digital devices, electrical machines, instrumentation and systems, design and installation of electromechanical systems. Students are introduced to software packages Matlab and LabView and 3Dimensional modelling software, SolidWorks, is integrated and used extensively throughout the programme.

The aim of this qualification is to provide students with a comprehensive set of skills for employment as engineering technologists (an engineering technologist is defined by the Sydney Accord as being competent at analysing, solving, managing and taking responsibility for broadly-defined engineering problems and activities).

The qualification will provide students with:

• theoretical and practical skills to solve engineering problems and design engineering systems in the broad area of electrical and mechanical engineering, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Control engineering systems, Power Systems, Electrical Machines and drives and Electromechanical Design of installation systems for the industry and Building Services Sector.
• Skills necessary for effective communication, analysis, teamwork, documentation and evaluation of systems through the inclusion of courses in English language, mathematics, project management, ethics and social responsibility.

This exit qualification equips graduates to start their engineering career mostly as an engineering technician. 

 This programme prepares students for the following further learning, careers and/or employment opportunities:

• Industrial process technician
• Building services 
• Iindustrial automation operations 
• Electrical Machines operation and maitenance 
• Medical devices operation
• Construction
• Mechanical and electrical manufacturing technician
• Computer-aided design (CAD)

Graduates from the Associate Degree in Engineering Technology programme who wish to continue their studies may apply to any university for admission into their Bachelor engineering programme.
