David Goldman Technology Centre
Engineering students working at Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in the Electronics Lab

Join our expert academic staff who will guide your students through a series of hands-on workshops including:

Introduction to Automation

An in-depth look at how technology has and continues to revolutionise the manufacturing industry. This session covers topics such as:

  • The picking up and moving of components and products, and how assembly and testing often makes use of automated machines
  • Intelligent systems which make use of sensors to understand the environment. We'll also explore how it makes decisions and performs tasks.

This is a hands-on session but also conveys the exciting careers opportunities available in this field.

Engineering, The Universe and Beyond

An engaging talk from our academic team which takes an overall look at Engineering as a professional occupation. Your students will take part in this conversation and debate:

  • Some of the challenges and opportunities that exist
  • The balance between technological progress and improving quality of life
  • How to do this while maintaining healthy lifestyles for people and protecting the planet.

Introduction to Electronics

Your students can get hands on in our laboratories and workshop to build a basic circuit. They’ll learn the role of the individual components, but also the skills needed to bring them to life to perform a function. This knowledge and these skills will provide the foundation for technologies used:

  • In homes
  • Industry
  • Transport
  • Communication systems.
