Mechanical Engineering

Beginning with a review of math and basic sciences, the Mechanical Engineering curriculum gives mechanical engineers as well as Plant Engineers, Production Designers, and Machine/Tool Designers comprehensive training in manufacturing, mechanical design, instrumentation, and process control systems.

All trainees must be a high school graduate or possess a GED Equivalency Certificate. Combined with on-the-job training opportunities, Mechanical Engineering makes sure employees have the skills and expertise they need. They learn to:

  • Describe the principles of basic science, chemistry, and engineering mechanics.
  • Explain the composition of materials and metals and how they are effected by common scientific and engineering applications used in manufacturing.
  • Understand the principles of fluid power and hydraulics, the common types of components, how they operate and how these systems can be troubleshot and maintained.
  • Incorporate the principles and components that comprise a mechanical power transmission system, how they operate, and how they can be maintained in everyday work experiences.
  • Describe the principles of automatic process control systems and how the various control instruments function.
  • Learnhow mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components used in control systems measure parameters and convert these measurements into useful data or appropriate control system responses.
