Mechanical Engineering

This challenging programme will see you working in NMIT’s Mechanical Engineering workshops learning how to machine, weld and fabricate with metal. During the year you’ll design, build and race a grass kart with your team mates. Training is pretty much hands-on – so be prepared to get stuck in. 

On completion of this course you will be able to:

• Year 1
•  Demonstrate knowledge of workplace health and safety requirements on engineering worksites.
• Demonstrate knowledge of safety on engineering worksites.
• Demonstrate knowledge of MIG welding in the motor industry.
• Perform basic fabrication operations under supervision.
• Assemble mechanical components under supervision.
• Year 2
• Produce simple engineering component drawings using CAD software.
• Produce components by performing basic engineering turning operations.

Note: Some unit standards may change. Final information on the standards specific to your course will be available prior to starting your programme.
If circumstances change there could be a mix models of delivery e.g online, face to face one day per week or block options.
