About The Course
|
Both the mandatory core study units and the specialist units of the HND in Manufacturing
Engineering centre around mathematics, science, design and implementation. The programme
will enable learners to develop previous mathematical knowledge and use fundamental
algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability for the analysis, modelling
and solution of realistic engineering problems.
It also stands to reason that engineering students need a fundamental understanding
of the mechanical and electrical principles that underpin the design and operation
of a large range of engineering equipment and systems. Learners will find opportunities
to develop skills in decision making, problem solving and communication when to
completing a realistic project. They are also expected to develop an understanding
of how manufactured products and their associated processes are planned, monitored
and controlled and extend their knowledge of and ability to apply both manual and
computer-assisted methods and procedures.

About The Course
|
The HND course in Mechanical Engineering aims to develop the learners’ understanding
of an extended range of mechanical principles that underpin the design and operation
of mechanical engineering systems.
Study units involving mechanical principles will develop learners’ knowledge of
complex subjects, such as loading systems, e,g, the behavioural characteristics
of loaded beams.
The importance of a sound preparation in advanced mathematics and further studies
relating to analytical methods for engineers cannot be underestimated.
Material engineering and material science, e.g. strength, properties, selection,
processing and failure of engineering materials and components, standard tests and
the ability to interpret test data together with a good knowledge of machine tools,
e.g. cutting tools and their application in industry, provide the underpinning knowledge
required at this level of study.
Other study units such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, provide insight into
other important aspects of engineering.

About The Course
|
Technicians and engineers who are concerned with the design, installation and operation
of power generation plant and plant services are expected to have a broadbased practical
and theoretical knowledge of the sector.
The programme will develop learners’ understanding of the engineering principles
that underpin the design and safe operation of plant systems and equipment together
with the appropriate management of those involved in the day-to-day running and
servicing of plant equipment.
Other programme content involves the application of pneumatics and hydraulics, thermodynamics,
the use of complex control schemes as well as energy conservation, and awareness
for both the organisation and its personnel.
The advanced maths units aim to provide the analytical knowledge necessary for studying
engineering to HND and degree level and will provide the more advanced knowledge
required for a range of careers in engineering.

About The Course
|
This programme of studies is intended for those students who would like to embark
on a career in Marine Engineering on board ships or on shore. The course is divided
into three stages. During their initial studies students will follow the MCAST-BTEC
Higher National Certificate in Operations Engineering together with a select number
of STCW courses. This will allow them to take up a placement on board a ship. In
the second stage of their studies the students will be given the opportunity to
do their seafaring time to acquire the necessary experience. In the final stage
the students will cover further STCW modules that will allow them to apply for their
licence with the Malta Transport Authority.

About The Course
|
This degree in Mechanical Engineering is relevant to a range of industries, since
it covers the key mechanical engineering principles and subject areas, such as,
design, mechanics, thermodynamics, instrumentation and control, materials for the
plant engineer, etc. The course is therefore wide-ranging and it will develop the
student’s ability to apply these principles to solve engineering problems.
Entrepreneurship, manufacturing management and sustainability support the purely
technical aspects of the programme.
Eligible students may proceed to the B.Eng. (Honours) degree by the end of November.
This entails one further year of study.

About The Course
|
The objective of this programme is that of producing professional engineers who
have strong practical competences backed by solid underpinning knowledge related
to the biomedical engineering sector. The exciting advances made in artificial valves
and organs and other prosthetic implants all fall in the realm of biomedical Engineering.
The course strives to give a basic understanding of the functioning of the human
body and combines this with the sound knowledge in biomechanics and other engineering
fields.
Graduates are referred to as clinical engineers, biomedical or medical equipment
specialists who can service and repair medical equipment, prosthetic implants and
others. Employment opportunities for biomedical engineers exist in industry, government,
universities, medical schools and hospitals. Biomedical engineers work with other
health care professionals as members of a team.
