The Diploma in Engineering, Diploma in Technology, Diploma in Technical Education, Diploma in Engineering & Technology is a program focused on practical and skills-oriented training . It is a technical course that only covers the essentials when ranked with an undergraduate engineering degree. It aims to provide students with industry or job related basic engineering knowledge, scientific skills, computing and analysis, mathematical techniques, a sound knowledge of English to communicate in the field and the ability to apply problem-solving techniques. Its duration is a minimum of three years. India recognises this as an equivalent to pre-engineering or a bridging course when considered for continuing studies in engineering related bachelors or associate degree programs. After successful completion of diploma in engineering course, students can either continue further engineering studies in undergraduate level or get employment as technicians, technologists, supervisors, superintendents, foremen, machinist, workshop technicians, draftsman, station technicians (energy, thermal, aeronautical), automobile technicians, maintenance and service technicians, equipment mechanics and technicians, CAD/CAM programmer, agricultural overseers, instrument technicians, junior instructors, manufacturing, tool and die designers. In some countries, one can apply for this diploma after completion of 10th grade ( Secondary School Certificate).
