HNC in Mechanical Engineering
I originally started studying at Fife College with an NC Foundation Engineering course that gave you the fundamentals of electrical , mechanical and manufacturing . I chose the mechanical route and from there I progressed through the NC , HNC and graduated with my HND in Mechanical Engineering . I have enjoyed every course that I have studied .
The things I enjoyed most about studying Mechanical Engineering were the complex problems and formulas , as you get a bit of satisfaction from working them out , along with getting hands on experience with machines such as milling , laiths and learning overall about the mechanical engineering field .
