The technical focus of this course is predominantly on the topics covered within a first year Mechanical Engineering degree course and aims to develop core mechanical knowledge. It is intended as an overview for non-technical personnel who work alongside mechanical engineers and does not include any complicated mathematics or equations.
It is an effective and valuable contribution to understanding mechanical engineering but in 2 days can only scratch the surface of the subjects, so will give guidance on where to go for more detailed and specialised information.
This programme is designed for non-engineers wishing to gain a practical insight into the subject. Previous delegates have included those working in sales, human resources and support roles within engineering organisations.
