Mechanical & Automotive Engineering Department

The Mechanical & Automotive Engineering Department keeps Kenya moving. From vehicle service workshops to fabrication sheds, the department trains technicians in mechanical craft, automotive maintenance and welding technology.

Training Areas

• Automotive technology — engine systems, transmission, brakes, steering, suspension and vehicle electricals.
• Vehicle service and maintenance — inspections, servicing schedules and diagnostics basics.
• Welding and fabrication — arc and gas welding, cutting, joining and metalwork safety.
• Machine shop practice — measurement, marking out, drilling, turning and fitting.
• Preventive maintenance and workshop management.

Learning Environment

Training happens in real workshops with engines, vehicles and fabrication equipment. Learners service actual vehicles, undertake community repair clinics and complete attachments in garages and engineering firms coordinated through the Office of Career Services.

Graduates are employed in garages, transport companies, agricultural engineering workshops and factories, or open their own repair businesses. See the course catalogue for open programmes, then apply online or visit any branch.
