Mechanical Engineering
Around 1.5 million people work in engineering-related jobs in
the UK and opportunities, especially for those with a strong grasp
of new technology, are growing.
Mechanical engineering at Bedford College
covers both the practical and the theoretical aspects of the
discipline. Students will learn workshop skills such as turning and
milling as well as the more advanced computer-aided manufacture.
Theoretical topics covered include mechanics, fluids, product
design and development, a key subject in the engineering world
today.
Students, in addition, will study units such
as communication and the role of the engineer and also the
commercial aspects of engineering organisations.
The Mechanical Engineering courses at Bedford
College will provide a solid foundation for the future
engineer.
