Our TYs recently took part in a pilot programme in partnership with Smithstown Light Engineering in Shannon. This involved a group of students experiencing real life industry work where they got to design products in school with 3-D software and then were taken through the process of having those designs manufactured using state of the art additive manufacturing processes. They visited Smithtown Engineering at their facilities in Shannon and received a tour of the site. This pilot initiative was part of the STEPS Engineering program 2023, where it is hoped to inspire future generations into the engineering world.
