Before you start designing machines, you’ll learn how to use them: Lathes, shaping machines, welders and more. Then with state of the art 3D modelling software, such as SolidWorks and AutoCad, you’ll learn to produce industry-standard drawings and designs.

Core Modules:

• Engineering fundamentals

• Mathematics

• Technical literacy

• Engineering management

• Engineering project (mechanical)

• Engineering practice

• Engineering CAD

• Mechanics

• Mechanical properties

• Thermodynamics and heat transfer

• Fluid mechanics

You can then specialise in one of the mechanical engineering disciplines: Mechanical, services or production.
