TTE has created undergraduate engineering training programme in partnership with Teesside University to provide students with practical industry skills
Training organisation TTE has teamed up with Teesside University to give undergraduates hands-on experience of industry.
Middlesbrough-based TTE has created the undergraduate engineering training programme in partnership with Teesside University to provide students with practical industry skills to underpin their academic studies.
The Process Engineering Industrial Awareness Programme provides hands-on experience for first year undergraduates studying chemical engineering at Teesside University.
The training will introduce the undergraduates to the specialist chemical plant equipment that they could be operating once in employment.
Working on TTE’s in-house chemical process pilot plant, the students will be given comprehensive training including start up, continuous running, and shut down procedures of the plant as well as an introduction to standard operating procedures, safe systems of work and fundamentals of process related health and safety.
In addition, it will test the students’ practical problem solving abilities by generating a range of scenarios such as process faults that they will need to react to and correct.
TTE provides specialist training to support the oil, gas, manufacturing, process and chemical industries. Its workshops enable trainees to gain practical experience to help prepare them for careers in these sectors.
Steve Grant, managing director of The TTE Technical Training Group, said: “The programme that has been developed for the undergraduates is a very valuable part of the training process.
“It will supplement their academic learning perfectly and provide skills and competencies that cannot be developed in a classroom environment, which will serve them well when looking to gain employment.”
Dr Dimitri Nicolaou, assistant dean of the School of Science and Engineering at Teesside University, added: “The Process Engineering Industrial Awareness Programme launched in partnership with TTE is an important addition to the academic and practical elements embedded in our degree programmes.
“Our professionally accredited degrees combine academic theory, group and individual projects and industry experience which taken together provide our graduates with a strong and highly desirable blend of academic and employability enhancing skills and competencies.”
