180 Technology Preparatory Programs

PGCert in Advanced Research Skills consists of two modules: Research Project Management and Technology-Enhanced Research. They are an integral part of our PhD programme, but can also be taken as self-standing modules by anyone wishing to acquire comprehensive training in academic and transferable research methods, either to supplement their PhD studies elsewhere or to upscale their skills in their professional environment.

T-Course (Technical Sciences) in English language Studienkolleg NRW is part of the renowned Hochschule Fresenius - University of Applied Sciences. We prepare international applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification - that is not recognized as equivalent to the German Abitur - for academic studies at a German university.

The engineering courses are designed to introduce students to the field of engineering and/or fulfil prerequisites for upper-division engineering courses. Because many of the engineering courses have math prerequisites and because most engineering courses are offered only annually or biennially, getting started on the appropriate sequence is important.

UC Davis' English for Science and Technology Program is an intensive program that helps students improve their technical English-language skills and learn to use English more confidently in the fields of science and technology. This program will also help international students understand what entrepreneurship is about. It is designed for international undergraduate and graduate students majoring in science, engineering and/or technology and adult professionals who want to improve their technical English-language skills.

Engineering Technology is the powerhouse department that combines training in composites manufacturing and mechatronics. Classes introduce students to materials science, composite materials, engineering design, mechatronics, and automation technology. Gain experience in hands-on state-of-the-art labs equipped with 3D printers, 3D scanners, injection molders, and robotic arms, along with equipment to test, construct, design, and build items both large and small. Capstone projects include fan-powered, radio-controlled robotic cars with printed and composite parts.

Basically, a machinist is a person who gets paid to make cool stuff with power tools. Machinists design and manufacture precision parts, from simple pieces such as nuts and bolts to complex, high-tech components. Jobs in the industry range from operating, maintaining, repairing or inspecting machines to designing and creating programs for computer-numerical-control machines. Machine technology extends into tool and die work, maintenance machining, and research and prototyping.

This hands-on education prepares you for a career in the games, animation, visual effects, advertising and visualisation industries. The programme uses the latest technology and working methods to prepare you for the real world. You will learn to create content for computer games, animated films and visual effects films. The focus is on practical projects that reflect what you will encounter in the industry.

The Industrial Electronics Technology Program provides entry-level skills in basic core competencies desired by the industry today. This program prepares students for work in the installation, testing, and maintenance of electrical and electronic systems in industrial, scientific, and commercial facilities. The program also provides specific training in basic computer hardware and software, programmable logic controllers, motors and motor control systems, three-phase power distribution, and human-machine interface and programming. Graduates are prepared to pursue jobs in areas such as automated manufacturing, electrical power distribution, protection systems, and other electrically-related fields.

This Mechanical Technician program integrates precision machining methods with advanced computer-controlled machine technology (CNC) in state-of-the-art Precision Machining, CAD/CAM, CNC, Research and Robotics Labs. Students design and manufacture tools, jigs, fixtures, precision fabrication assemblies, and prototypes using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing software, precision machining equipment, and sophisticated CNC machine tool technology. In their final year, students augment their learning by engaging in a 15-week co-op placement with industry partners.

Want to break into game development fast? Instead of spending 2 to 3 years in a traditional program, build a full 7-game portfolio in just 1 year. MAGES trains you with real studio workflows so you can enter the game industry as quickly and confidently as possible.

Surgical Technologists are employed in hospitals, surgery centers, and physician's offices to deliver patient care before, during and after surgery. Skyline's program combines academic and clinical instruction that includes learning to prepare surgical instruments, passing them to the surgeon, and handling specialized equipment.

This program provides training that prepares students to set up and operate machining equipment, handle inspection devices, analyze production problems, and move into the supervision of machining. Students obtain a strong background in machining, engineering graphics, computers (CAD/CAM/CNC), quality control/quality assurance, material handling and processing, and leadership skills. The program provides a balance between practical training in manufacturing processes and technical education in manufacturing analysis, planning, and control with a supporting emphasis on communications, mathematics, science, and business.

A Certificate of Higher Education, also known as a CertHE, is the equivalent to Level 4 (year one) of an undergraduate or bachelor’s degree. MetStudios’ practical CertHE courses offer an introduction to the dynamic disciplines of game development. This one-year course offers an exciting opportunity for game makers and producers to delve into their craft through engaging lectures, workshops, and the creation of a comprehensive creative portfolio.
