Mechanical Engineering  

In this programme, you’ll gain practical, hands-on experience in NMIT’s Mechanical Engineering and Fabrication workshops. Learn essential fabrication skills, including MIG, Stick, and TIG welding, as well as metal forming using industry-standard equipment such as hydraulic rollers, a press brake, guillotine, and radial arm drill.

You’ll put your new skills into practice by designing and manufacturing projects you can take home and share with friends and family. You’ll even have the opportunity to create a project of your own, giving you a real taste of what it’s like to work as an engineer.

You will use CAD/CAM software used in industry to produce drawings and 3D models to output to our 3D printers. You could even progress to manufacture your part on our HAAS CNC machine.

This is a very practical hands-on course, so be prepared to get stuck in!
