Four-year progression
The first year covers Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, computing, graphics and workshops. The second year develops mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, manufacturing processes and measurement.
The third year covers machining, forming, joining, CNC, CAD/CAM, quality, automation and production planning. The final year includes electives, internship and major project.
Laboratory workload
Students perform machining, casting, forming, welding, metrology, CNC and automation work. Reports should include parameters, measurements, defects and safety.
Internship
Internships may occur in automotive, aerospace, machine-tool, fabrication, electronics, foundry, energy or quality organisations. Defined technical work and supervision matter more than the company name.
Major project
Projects can develop fixtures, optimise a process, analyse defects, automate inspection or evaluate additive manufacture. Scope should match available machines, materials and time.
