The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (DME) has equipped me with a wide range of skills and knowledge to thrive in our rapidly evolving industrial climate. Many modules taught such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Electronics, Engineering Mathematics, Programming and Design gradually fall in place as I study and train to be a pilot.

My DME diploma has given me a strong engineering foundation to understand aircraft systems and safety procedures. I study in a discipline I enjoy and work in a field of specialty I love. I am well on my way to realising my dream to fly.
