Integrated Polytechnic Regional College Kigali (IPRC-Kigali) Mechanical Engineering Department
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering consists of a wide range of specializations to choose from, with diverse opportunities to contribute to industries and the service sector and in the development of modern technology. The application of Engineering science and the solution of Industrial problems is core to mechanical engineering programmes.
IPRC Kigali is offering five programmes in Mechanical Engineering: Automobile Technology, Production and Manufacturing Technology and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology, Aircraft Maintenance Technology, Mechatronics Technology.
Mechanical Engineering Department also offer, on demand, offers short courses training related with the programs mentioned above
The aim of this department is to produce, on labour market, technicians with competitive knowledge and skills.
1. Automobile Technology
The programme combines skills and knowledge required to diagnose, analyse, evaluate, design and modify different automotive engineering systems such as mechanical, electrical and electronics, safety, software, etc., to provide a better understanding and maintenance services for different types of vehicles.
Carrier opportunities:
Graduates from Automobile Technology are able to work in:
Transport companies(fleet management), Vehicle Maintenance services(manage garages), Maintenance of Construction Equipment, Valuator in Insurance Company, Sales of Vehicles, Industrial Maintenance, Thermal Power stations, defence services, Vehicle parts manufacturing, etc.
2. Production and Manufacturing Technology
The option deals with different manufacturing practices and includes: design and development of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment. It focuses on turning raw materials into a new or updated product in the most economic, efficient and effective possible way. It also includes maintenance and mechanical machines in different industries.
Manufacturing engineers have a high level of technical expertise and skills, which they use to plan, design, set up, modify, optimize and monitor manufacturing processes. Plan and carry out installation, maintenance and repair of plant, machines and equipment. Design tools and jigs and produce proto-type of such items.
Carrier opportunities:
Since the basic principles of manufacturing engineering apply to all industries graduates can work in numerous sectors including metal, food and drink, oil, plastics, and pharmaceutical industries, Hydropower plants, etc.
3. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology
Cooling and heating systems help to regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality for residential homes, hospitals, commercial locations and industrial facilities. These systems are made up of many different parts, including electrical, mechanical, and electronic parts.
Carrier opportunities:
Graduates from Air Condition and Refrigeration Technology are able to work in:
Design, install, repair and carry out maintenance of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems in industries, hospitals hotels, commercial buildings, thermal power plants, etc.
