Mechanical Engineering
Overview
The N4 – N6 Mechanical Engineering programme covers a broad spectrum of topics including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, and manufacturing processes. Students engage with CAD software, machining techniques, robotics, and mechanical systems analysis to enhance their technical competencies. Practical workshops, design challenges, and real-world simulations equip participants with the skills needed for prototyping, product development, and optimizing mechanical systems in various industries. After the completion of their N6 theory, 24 months practical experience can be completed in a relevant workplace to qualify for the Mechanical Engineering National Diploma. Graduates are prepared to excel in designing, constructing, and maintaining mechanical components and systems.
