Hi All I am currently a maintence/process technician who is looking to forward his career into the engineering side of the industry. I will soon be starting a HNC mechatronics course (1 day a week) and wondered if any one knew of any sources of information that could be useful to me. Also, has anyone completed the course themselves and do u have any comments to offer me?

Thanks in advance

Darren Jones

Never heard of the degree before your post. Seems like a cool thing. Leave it to them Brits.

All of the schools that come-up in a net search have that "HNC" thang. Sowatts a HNC?

Higher National Certificate - it's a UK thing... or it was when I were a lad.

Darren , I done the HNC in Electrical & Electronic Engineering which was later changed to Mechatronics . The course itself will give you a good broad based grounding in all aspects of E&E Engineering . What you really need to back it up is good quality exposure in an SMT/Process environment . When you combine the HNC and the experience you will be a valuable commodity . Carry on from the HNC and do a Degree and the world is your oyster . Feel free to drop me a line and I'll try and help any way I can ...

Hi Darren

I am currently studying the same course as yourself, basicly if you have an electronic / electrical backround and a good grasp of maths you are laughing...if you send me your timetable of subjects ( I am sure each college does not run to the exact same schedule ) I will be more than happy to send and receive any information that may help.

Good luck

Dale

Its some years ago now but i completed an HND Mechanical Engineering with Mechatronics at Manchester Poly. Two of the lectuerers at the time published a text book, i later moved on to complete my degree at Newcastle Poly where this book was widely used.

I can't remember the exact name of it, but the two blokes who wrote it were Jack Golten, and Andy Verwer.
