Higher National Diploma HND Mechanical Engineering (Production Option) At STU

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. 

Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test.

They deal with anything that moves, from components to machines to the human body.

Production engineering, also known as manufacturing engineering, is the design, development, implementation, operation, maintenance, and control of all processes in the manufacture of a product. Within this context a ‘product’ is defined as an item that has value added to it during the production process.
