Designed for engineering graduates, this postgraduate certificate will broaden and deepen your understanding of professional engineering. You’ll explore how components are made, from casting, forming and joining to additive manufacturing and surface engineering, and examine how materials and design choices affect performance. You’ll also learn how to use computer-based modelling and analysis techniques to investigate complex engineering problems and apply finite element analysis to real-life engineering contexts. By the end, you’ll have gained advanced technical knowledge and strengthened your problem-solving, decision-making and communication skills, preparing you for senior engineering roles and your next step towards becoming a Chartered Engineer.
