Best Ingegneria meccanica Courses

Of all the engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering is one of the widest. It is basically the scientific study of physical machines connected to movement and force. Mechanical engineers design, build, test and maintain machinery but to do so, they have to understand physics, mathematics and even chemistry (to ensure the materials they use are compatible, strong enough and safe) and thermodynamics (as friction produces heat). Probably every modern appliance we use was likely overseen by a mechanical engineer at some point in its development process. 

Mechanical engineering is a diverse field that covers everything from acoustics and aerodynamics to ergonomics and cyber security, biotechnology and robotics. But you need a good grounding in the basics before you can start designing rocket ships!

1. Internal Combustion Engine Basics

The invention of the internal combustion engine changed the world. This course is a must-do for every aspiring mechanical engineer as ICs are the backbone of so many transport modes for goods and passengers.

2. Diploma in Marine Diesel Engines

Once you’ve mastered internal combustion engines, you can begin to specialise. Shipping is a global, multi-trillion dollar industry: keeping ships running is important to worldwide trade. Maintenance is also key for preventing expensive break-downs and catastrophic oil spills.

3. Diploma in Electric Vehicle Technology

Mechanical engineers always look to the future. This course moves away from ICs to the electric motors found in BEVs (battery electric vehicles). A reduction in the reliance on fossil fuels and improved sustainability is important for all mechanical engineers to be aware of.

Because mechanical engineering is such a broad field, there are lots of directions to go in. Here are some ideas that will only become more important in the future:

• Diploma in Mechatronics

The exciting coming together of electronics and mechanical engineering.

• Diploma in Robotics

Learn how to design and construct robots that can assist humans with all sorts of tasks.

• Diploma in Solar Photovoltaics: Principles, Technologies and Materials

Solar power is part of major sustainability efforts across the world.

Remember, all Alison courses:

• Have no monthly subscription fees
• Have no registration fees
• Have no enrollment fees
• Have no limit on how many courses you can do
