Career Option in Fabrication Technology
Fabrication Technology, an engineering discipline, trains in developing technically competent, socially committed and disciplined manufacturing engineers with creative ability, innovative thinking and managerial skill to manufacture quality products for the benefit of the mankind. The focus is on Metal Fabrication and Welding, utilizing a range of metals, e.g. steel, aluminium and brass.
Training is provided in core engineering subjects needed in developing machinery, equipment, products and processes. Students also work closely with computer-aided design and modeling, computer-controlled manufacturing and automatic testing.
Education Details & Eligibility:
To become a Fabrication (Production) engineer one should have a graduate degree (B.E /B.Tech) or at least a diploma in Mechanical engineering. The degree and postgraduate degree courses are offered by private and government engineering colleges.
Basic eligibility criteria:
+2 (Higher Secondary students) with 1 st or 2nd group as the major or Diploma holders in mechanical, automobile engineering, production engineering can choose Fabrication Technology (Production Engineering) course in Bachelor’s Degree.
Course Duration:
Degree in Fabrication Technology are offered at universities worldwide. In India Fabrication Technology (Production Engineering) programs typically take four years .In some Universities abroad, Fabrication Technology (Production engineering) programs typically take four to five years and result in a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc), Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), Bachelor of Engineering (B.E), or Bachelor of Applied Science (B.Sc) degree, in or with emphasis on mechanical engineering.
The course duration in India for
- Diploma: 2 to 3 years.
- Bachelor’s Degree courses: 4 years.
- Master Degree (M.E): 2 years.
