Intercampus Engineering Skills Competition 2020

South Eastern Regional College held its 3rd intercampus engineering skills competition which took place at the Lisburn Campus and the New Skills Centre in Nutts Corner. The two-day competition was designed to test and challenge the ability of its students in turning, milling, fabrication and welding.

Ivan Kelly, SERC Lecturer in Engineering, comments “It was duly noted that the skill level has been sustained this year and the vast majority of the young people are now paid apprentices from companies right across the province. Special thanks need to be made to all students, tutors and corporate staff. Without their help and support the event could not have happened.”
