AME, a unique partnership between Coventry University and Unipart Manufacturing Group, has rewritten the rule book when it comes to developing engineering and manufacturing graduates that are industry ready.

Known as the UK’s first ‘faculty on the factory floor’, it gives students direct access to live manufacturing projects and access to state-of-the-art technologies in a bid to future-proof and accelerate their careers.

Over 200 students have completed or are working towards their degrees, utilising the latest robotics, automation and welding technology.

In addition to taking a new approach to education, AME also boasts a team of technology specialists and professors who are working together to help develop new powertrain and energy transfer solutions for automotive aerospace and renewables.
