Vehicle and Weapon Engineering (USA)

Delivered in Detroit, MI, USA, this course will provide you with the technical knowledge and understanding of weapon systems and military vehicles to make them effective in their specification, design, development and assessment.

This course is delivered by Cranfield University in the United States of America, and can therefore only accept applications from current residents of the United States of America and/or applicants who do not require a Visa to enter the USA for the purposes of education.

The course provides education and training at postgraduate level for those who expect to fill technically-demanding appointments concerned with the design, development, procurement and operation of vehicles.

For those who are new to defence or those who plan to come out of military service or are retiring soon and would like to join the defence industry, this course offers the underpinning knowledge and education to enhance your employability. In the same way it increases a better understanding of those who are working in the industry to improve your quality of work.

The majority of the students attending the course are sponsored by GVSC, USA and GDLS, USA. In addition, staff from YPG, Yuma and other local organisations have attended individual courses.

The Associates from DoD such as GVSC, APG, YPG, CRTC and Industry from the USA have either joined the programme or have attended individual classes. Recently, Associates from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) have started to attend our classes. Any course listed as part of this programme can also be offered (non-accredited) at customer premises as part of Continuous Professional Development (CPD).

Each course is delivered to a class of 20 attendees.
