About The Course |
The programme is designed to provide an opportunity to school leavers in possession
of the School Leaving Certificate to follow a structured programme of study in an
area which is close to their interests. The programme includes a significant amount
of vocational practice that will help students to form a clear idea of the nature
of the trade or vocation they intend to follow. Assessment of each unit in this
qualification is mainly through a system of continuous assessment and tests. This
is a one-year full-time course. Students are given the opportunity to develop the
basic skills required to further their studies in the Electrical and Electronics
Sector. They are also helped to strengthen their knowledge in Mathematics and Physics.
The course is designed for students who need an understanding of Electrical/Electronic
fundamentals and principles. Emphasis is placed on Electrical/Electronic theory
and science. Upon completion, students will have knowledge of basic electricity
and electronics. Successful students may proceed to follow the course leading to
a Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology (C&G 2330) or the course leading to
the BTEC First Diploma in Engineering.
Students who apply to join a Vocational Foundation Course at level 2 shall be required
to pass MCAST tests in Maltese, English and Mathematics. Following these tests,
MCAST shall draw up a list of those who are found to require significant help in
their studies. These learners will stand to benefit by joining the Foundation Course
at Vocational Level 1 instead. This is a one-year course which should help them
to progress to the Foundation Course at level 2 the following year.

About The Course |
This three-year Diploma provides students with the theoretical knowledge and gives
them the opportunity to develop and apply advanced software solutions to microprocessor
based systems including the PC. Students will be able to analyse, compare and contrast
the interaction of embedded systems with the PC. The latter is more appreciated
when used as a systems controller in diverse industrial applications. Successful
technicians will be capable to build, test, troubleshoot and repair computer based
systems and networks, perform electronic repair on computer and office equipment,
perform software installation and operating system deployment and set up network
systems.
Emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that students will
be able to apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. The Computer Engineering
Diploma provides a strong background in Mathematics, Programming, Analogue and Digital
Electronics, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, Networking as well as extensive
practice in the design, operation and integration of hardware and software systems.
A project in the final year gives students the opportunity to further explore a
specialized area.
This course contains substantial practical content and has been designed to address
the needs of industry. Whilst providing a route for progression it also offers an
excellent exit point for successful candidates to work as technicians. Students
will be trained to provide solutions to a variety of problems of moderate scope
and complexity in the field of Computer Engineering and IT |

About The Course |
The objective of this programme is that of producing professional engineers who
are both academically prepared and practically trained to satisfy the requirements
of local industry. Moreover these graduates will be suitably prepared to embark
on careers or further their studies abroad.
Control engineering is from many perspectives at the peak of the various engineering
disciplines. Indeed many engineering problems involve the processing of information
of some form in order to control some system or variable within a more complex system.
Giving students a good preparation in Control increases their attractiveness to
