Course Outline
| Semester 1 | Semester 2 |
Manufacturing Design |
Manufacturing Design - Operation |
| Special Feature - Project | |
The main project contributes to the students’ learning and development and is also the most enjoyable feature of this course. This is so because all the projects deal with ‘real’ problems and every project has a client who needs the results. The method by which the project objectives are achieved is not known in advance and is therefore developed by the students, in conjunction with their supervisor and client. | |

But don't just take our word...
“After graduating I started working for DePuy Ireland (a Johnson & Johnson company) in June 2004. DePuy designs, manufactures and distributes orthopedic devices and supplies including hip, knee, extremity, trauma, orthobiologics, and operating-room products which are manufactured in line with the highest quality standards within a regulated environment. I work as a Manufacturing Engineer in the foundry, where we produce over 5000 implants per week using an investment casting process, which makes life at DePuy a challenging place to work.
Luckily my time in WIT helped prepare me to meet challenges in this line of work. I especially think the practical project work students undertake alongside the classwork provides graduates from this course with a real understanding into how what they learn in class is relevant to what they will end up working with in industry”.
