Teaching and Learning Methods
The programme may include:
- classroom lectures;
- mechanical workshops;
- electrical laboratories;
- electronics laboratories;
- PLC programming;
- SCADA simulation;
- robot programming;
- CAD and modelling;
- hydraulics and pneumatics;
- microcontroller projects;
- industrial visits;
- internships;
- seminars;
- case studies; and
- capstone projects.
Practical work is central because students must learn how real components behave under wiring, timing, loading and safety constraints.
