Student Stories
No doubt about it! A Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine is a marvellous piece of engineering.
But how do you control one of these beauties? Tom Clark spent his year at Aero Engine Controls finding out. He also came back with sponsorship and a graduate job offer! Here's Tom's story >>
John Cunningham has now graduated from this programme and is studying for an MSc in Renewable Energy Systems Technology. Read about his undergraduate experience on placement with Northern Ireland Electricity.
