   Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and Technology is the study of planning, designing, developing, producing and maintaining machines, mechanical plants and systems, and metal products. It includes designing and maintaining machines, which generate energy, produce goods and services, control pollution, dispose of waste, and move goods and materials. Skills learned include: analysing the effects of stresses and strains on machinery, plant and equipment, designing and drafting mechanical components, undertaking materials investigation and analysis, reading and interpreting blueprints and specifications in order to determine dimensions and tolerances of articles. The main purpose of this field of study is to develop an understanding of planning, designing, installing, maintaining and repairing plant, machinery and tools and an understanding of fabricating, casting and welding metals. It also involves developing an ability to organise, co-ordinate and complete these tasks.
