Damelin N3 Courses, are you an analytical problem solver; eager to design new ways to use electrical power improve products? Then a National Diploma in Electrical Engineering may be your perfect fit.
Electrical engineering deals with the process of manufacturing electrical equipment, components, and systems for commercial, industrial and domestic usage, from start to finish.
Electrical engineers therefore use their knowledge in electricity, electronics and electromagnetism to design, develop, test, and supervise the production of electrical equipment. Electrical engineers in the field, work with equipment such as transmission devices used by electric utilities, radar and navigation systems, machinery controls, electric motors, lighting and wiring in buildings, control and power generation. Electrical engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.
This field has made the demand list for critical and scarce skills in the country, and the scope continues to expand both nationally and internationally. With the Diploma in Electrical Engineering you will be able to acquire these skills by covering courses in engineering science, electro-technology, industrial electronics and industrial electronics. This will provide you with the platform you need to fulfil your curiosity and expand your creativity within this world of wires.

Why this course is perfect for you?
Do you have an aptitude for mathematics and science? Are you intrigued by the mechanics of machinery that bring convenience to our lives? If so, manufacture a solid career with the National N Diploma: Engineering Studies: Mechanical Engineering.
Mechanical Engineering is a field of innovation and convenience. Mechanical engineers develop new equipment and products used by companies and people to increase production, improve work processes and quality of life. Essentially, it is the responsibility of a mechanical engineer to take an idea and turn it into a product that can be sold in the marketplace. In order to accomplish this, a broad range of skills is needed, such as complex problem solving, critical thinking, and being able to exercise good judgement. Basic Mechanical Engineering duties include planning and designing tools, machines, and other mechanical equipment, as well as overseeing the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of equipment.
Mechanical engineers are, above all else, problem solvers. They use math skills and analytical abilities to spot problems and resolve them. Through this course you will learn concepts such as kinetics and thermodynamics, and the design and development of machinery, ranging from simple mechanisms to more complex machines. Ensure that your career runs like a well-oiled machine with the National N Diploma: Engineering Studies: Mechanical Engineering.
