To equip mechanical engineers with updated technology, the Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NIMechE) has partnered with an engineering solution and training service, Generative CAD service limited to train some engineers.
The two-year partnership aims to empower recent graduates with practical skills essential for success in the mechanical engineering industry by offering hands-on experience, exposure to real-world challenges, and opportunities for professional development.
The partnership also focuses on providing training in essential core skills such as design, development, optimisation, and digital manufacturing as participants will have access to cutting-edge technologies and expertise, including Dassault Systèmes (SolidWorks), Autodesk and Flashforge technologies, to enhance their learning experience.
According to the Chairman, Board of NIMechE Training, Seun Faluyi, an engineer, the essence of the collaboration is to expand the skill base, not just the academic knowledge of engineers in Nigeria but to make them truly functional in their field.
He disclosed that there will be cost absorption to enable mechanical engineers and members of NIMechE have access to the training.
National Chairman NIMechE, Alhassan Abdu Mohammed, an engineer, represented by the National Vice Chairman, Uche Obiajulu, an engineer, said: “We are excited to join forces with Generative CAD Services Limited to advance the field of mechanical engineering in Nigeria. This partnership underscores our commitment to equip engineers with the tools and knowledge needed to drive innovation and economic growth.”
CEO, Generative CAD Services Limited, Chukwubuikem Felix Amaefule said the firm’s goal is to prepare the next generation of mechanical engineers to excel in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
