Your role as a Manufacturing Engineer?

• You facilitate efficient operations within the production area, to optimise existing processes, implement new processes and to ensure that production goals are met.

• You monitor performance of equipment, machines and tools. 

• You correct equipment problems or process parameters that produce non-conforming products, low yields or product quality issues, all within a highly regulated and complex manufacturing environment.

• You will analyse and solve problems from basic engineering principles and theories. Then initiate technical activities leading to new or improved products or process to meet strategic goals and objectives of the company.

• You apply project management methodologies and Kaizen improvement philosophy to manage production/product design and process and systems improvement respectively.

Graduates of the HC in Manufacturing Engineering Design or the HC in Manufacturing Engineering (apprenticeship) take the Industry Module (20 credits) instead of "Quality", "Communication and Professional Development" and "Lean Manufacturing". All other students take all modules other than the Industry Module.  The duration of the semester is 17 weeks teaching and the full programme is 36 weeks long (including exam weeks)
