Join our expert academic staff who will guide your students through a series of hands-on workshops including:

Introduction to Automation

An in-depth look at how technology has and continues to revolutionise our thriving manufacturing industry. This session covers topics such as:

  • The picking up and moving of components and products, and how assembly and testing often makes use of automated machines
  • Intelligent systems which make use of sensors to understand something of the environment of which it is part, and how it makes decisions and performs tasks.

This is a hands-on session but also conveys the exciting careers opportunities available in this field.

Engineering, The Universe and Beyond

An engaging talk from our academic team which takes an overall look at Engineering as a professional occupation. Your students will take part in this conversation and debate to understand some of the challenges and opportunities that exist. The fine balance of achieving technological developments and advancing quality of life while at the same time maintaining a healthy lifestyle for humans and the planet on which we live will also be explored.

Introduction to Electronics

Your students can get hands on in our laboratories and workshop to build a basic circuit. They’ll learn the role of the individual components, but also the skills needed to bring them to life to perform a function. This knowledge and these skills will become the building blocks for devices around the home, industrial applications, transportation and communication devices.
