The manufacturing and service industry in Kenya requires trained personnel in the mechanical engineering sector.  They include Engineers, Technicians, Plant operators, Mechanics among others operators.  They have the technical know-how and hands on skills to operate the heavy machinery and equipment.

Mechanical engineering is the design and operation of machines. Within this type of engineering, parts are analyzed to create more efficient and safer systems for manufacturing.

Mechanical engineering certificate graduates provide technical support and services in the mechanical engineering field such as the design, development, maintenance and testing of machines such as components, heating and ventilating systems, power generation and conversion plants, manufacturing plants and equipment. They are employed by consulting and engineering firms, manufacturing and processing companies, educational institutions and many other sectors.

Once a certificate in mechanical engineering is awarded, different career options may open up. Additionally, certificate holders have a deeper understanding of the way machines and mechanical systems work.

For those who have finished a certificate in this type of engineering, job opportunities may be more abundant.

One type of position that could be an option is robotics designer, which involves creating machines for automated processes.

Additionally, careers in structural analysis, which has to do with analyzing systems failures, can be obtained with credentials in mechanical engineering. Other possible career paths are working in drafting, thermodynamics in energy or working in mechanics of various industries.

Jobs in mechanical engineering are found primarily in the private manufacturing industry, but there are also opportunities in governmental agencies.
