Professional Certificate of Competency in Mechanical Engineering Engineering Institute of Technology

Overview

The Professional Certificate of Competency in Mechanical Engineering   from the Engineering Institute of Technology  primarily derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small (even nano) individual devices, such as measuring instruments, to large systems such as machine tools and power plants.

Easy installation and serviceability are critical to the success of a mechanical system, as is operational and design flexibility. Understanding parameters governing the selection and design of mechanical systems is essential for identifying suitable systems for a particular application.

To place all these issues in context, a good working knowledge of mechanical principles combined with a solid understanding of critical concepts such as force, energy, and heat is essential. Mechanical power transmission is discussed from the point of view of gears, couplings, and bearings. Proper selection and sizing of these critical mechanical components are vital to ensure optimum performance and improved efficiency of a mechanical system. Recently, fluid engineering has undergone significant change, and therefore, a detailed overview of the underlying principles of fluid power and its applications is vital. The theory behind heat transfer, the various heat transfer mechanisms, and the design of heat exchangers are also examined.

After completing this course, you will be able to

• Understand the fundamental concepts of Mechanical Engineering like heat transfer, fluid mechanics, mechanism of gears and bearings, and the principles of machine design.
• Gain practical skills vital in designing of mechanical elements like fasteners, keys and keyways and riveted joints.
• Learn about the latest mechanical process in manufacturing and production, their maintenance and the international standards and codes applicable.
