A current shortage of skilled engineers means there are excellent career opportunities for talented graduates as design, production or project engineers at technician engineer level. In addition, our well-developed relationships with a wide range of engineering employers allow us to help and support students into sustainable employment. Many of our graduates are now employed by major companies such as EDF Energy, Westinghouse (Springfields Fuels Ltd), BAE Systems, Airbus, NIC, GCE and Ford Motor Company as design, production, project or research and development engineers.

Course programme
If you’re interested in Mechanical Engineering and want to know how things are designed, manufactured and made to work, this is the course for you. This programme aims to develop a clear understanding of the principles and skills involved in engineering, with the use of computer-aided techniques an integral part. The course has a strong vocational emphasis and provides general transferable skills in readiness for employment in this specialised field. This is a new approach to higher education, integrating academic and applied learning with an industrial context. It is the result of a partnership between employers and the College to develop innovative and flexible delivery models.
