Hi and welcome to our
engineering students website, based in Confey College, Leixlip, County
Kildare, Ireland.
Here you will see the
students at work designing and making their craft projects, also you can
view our engineering workshop and equipment.
My name is Philip Devereux, I'm
the engineering teacher here at Confey College since 1996.
Students learn about
metals, polymers (plastics), electronics and design. The ultimate goal
being that each student develops the necessary skills to design and make
electro-mechanical devices. Our workshop is well equipped with
lathes, milling machines, CNC tooling and hand tools. Students undergo
state examinations at the end of their 3rd and 5th year of secondary
education. Engineering students are required to take separate design &
manufacture, practical and theory examinations. The individual components
are then combined to give an overall result.
Why not contact us at
Confey
College or visit our school website at www.confeycollege.org.
The students are keen to correspond with other schools, particularly
international, on topics such as student projects & technology.
