When a local technical training institution approached Engineering Dynamics a few years ago, they had a vision: to align their curriculum with the real-world demands of today’s mechanical industry. Literally.
Students (future fitters and turners) were still being taught methods like dial gauges for machine alignment, as the national curriculum hasn’t been updated. Formal training on modern laser alignment tools was unavailable.
Enter Engineering Dynamics, which supplied the institution with its first laser alignment system a few years ago, giving students hands-on training with the technology used in today’s industry. Since then, student numbers have grown, and the institution decided to invest in several more systems.
One of the senior lecturers has played a key role in expanding the course material and providing Afrikaans-language training notes, making complex technical concepts more accessible to students in their home language. To further strengthen the programme, several of the institution’s lecturers and instructors recently attended shaft alignment and vibration analysis training at Engineering Dynamics. This helps ensure that the practical instruction students receive is accurate, up to date, and aligned with current industry practices.
As a result, students are graduating with qualifications and practical skills that meet the real-world needs of employers.
