About the course.

The course aims to give students theoretical and practical competence in mechanical maintenance. Students gain specialised knowledge of mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics and materials science. Students will also handle the most common measuring equipment, cutting data, tolerances/fits, basic drawing reading, machine simpler parts by turning and milling, and do basic welding. After completing the course, students should be able to carry out practical tasks such as drilling, reaming, threading, turning, milling and grinding, as well as assembling machine parts. Students should also be able to carry out mechanical maintenance and troubleshooting of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
