A craft apprenticeship for those who wish to work as a Mechanical Automotive Maintenance Fitter (MAMF). The work of the Mechanical Automotive Maintenance Fitter (MAMF) involves plant and machinery installation, maintenance and replacement of broken or worn parts, adjustment and servicing.

Mechanical engineering is about putting ideas into action. It is about inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and maintaining products, equipment and machinery of all kinds. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of materials, mechanisms, power, energy and manufacturing technology to produce specifications for their designs and to see those designs become a reality. This course is a result of comprehensive industry engagement defining future needs regionally and nationally. The course will equip learners with the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical expertise demanded by leading global employers to work in this constantly evolving field. 

This course has a strong emphasis on the practical side of mechanical engineering, exposing the student to many “hands on” modules in workshops and laboratories. Modules on the course are grouped into streams that run over the three years: Workshop Practice, Mechatronics, Mechanical Design and Computer Aided Engineering, Mechanics, Thermofluids, Materials, Management, Projects, Mathematics and Elective Options. 

Design and project work is a major feature of the course. The Innovative Project Development modules in Year 3 enable students, working in teams, to bring a concept from the idea stage through to a finished prototype, considering the technical performance and commercial potential of their designs.

There is a mixture of continuous assessment and a series of semesterised exams. In the final year each student undertakes an individual project involving research, design, prototype development and experimental verification to meet a real need.

This course will allow students to test the limits of what is possible with maths and creativity and give them the skills and competencies that will allow you to contribute to local and international industry. Course topics include mechanics, fluids, heat, mathematics, materials, manufacturing, and computer-aided design.

Engineers are in extremely high demand right now in Ireland and globally with exponential growth in job opportunities, especially in the Mechanical and Biomedical sector.

Engineering graduates are trained to be creative and inventive, and to solve difficult problems such as the development of new technologies from jet engines to robots to artificial hip implants to hybrid cars and train components.

This programme provides students with a broad understanding of Mechanical Engineering technology allowing students to enter the job market as an Associate Level Engineer or to pursue further education such as the Level 8 Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) at TUS.

Mechanical Engineering is a subject concerned with the design and manufacture of parts and systems that make up the range of machinery and equipment you see around you, from a can opener to a jet aircraft. Mechanical engineers design the tools and processes necessary to create all man-made products, and are often involved from conceiving of an idea right through to seeing it as a finished product ready for its commercial application.

Mechanical Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design and manufacture of machinery and tools. Mechanical engineers use applied maths and science to design a wide range of machines, from domestic household appliances to sophisticated machines such as aircraft and automobiles.
