What will I do? MECHANICAL/MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING Mechanical/Maintenance Engineering involves many different routes including analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. You will develop a solid understanding of key concepts. Mechanical/ Maintenance Engineers use these principles and others in the design and analysis of specialist components in a variety of sectors. Our purpose-built industry-specification workshops and classrooms house state-of-the-art engineering equipment and computers. Workshops contain manual lathes, milling machines and engineering benches, while separate specialised workshops and classrooms contain Haas advanced (CNC) Computer Numerical Controlled machines in both milling and turning, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing technology. Our hydraulics and pneumatics/electro-pneumatics workshop houses many vital test rigs, which are essential to test and assess the capability and performance of components for industrial use.
FABRICATION & WELDING The fabrication and welding industry requires highly skilled people for the many employment opportunities in areas such as energy, oil and gas, engineering maintenance and industrial manufacturing. Our highly skilled lecturers will support and guide you through the basics of this industry and you will learn how welding integrates into an engineering system. Our industrial specification purpose-built fabrication and welding workshops house high-quality equipment, covering all aspects of welding applications, including Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), Manual Metal Arc (MMA), and Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing (DT/NDT) CNC Plasma machines.
