Industrial Training (IT) provides engineering students practical engineering experience.
 
At Clintonel, we equip engineering students on IT with technical and soft skills needed to thrive in the industry, helping them understand and apply the theories they learn in school.

Engineering for Industry Training (E4i) at Federal University of Science and Technology (FUTO) Owerri, Nigeria.

Virtually every product we use today started as a design (phone, fridge, car, etc.). Nigeria needs to design and make the products she imports and consumes.
 
We introduced the engineering students & staff of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of products using Fusion360.
We also trained FUTO engineering students & staff on Reverse Engineering using a 3D Scanner to digitise and study existing products and then using a 3D Printer to reproduce those products.

Engineering for Industry Training at Imo State University (IMSU) Owerri, Nigeria.

Engineering for Industry (E4I) training in Imo State University (IMSU) started with an introduction to the exciting world of #3DPrinting after a session on product design.
 
The students designed, animated and 3D printed a gear system.

The students and lecturers learnt about #CNCmachining – how it works, and how codes are generated and executed.

The students had hands-on training on 3D scanning, laser cutting, and laser engraving.
