Mechanical engineering combines principles from mathematics and physics with creativity, problem-solving and teamwork skills to design, manufacture, operate and maintain physical machines and systems. Mechanical engineers work at the forefront of some of the biggest technological challenges we face today, such as providing sustainable energy and intelligent transport systems, designing medical devices and developing machines and systems to increase food production or explore the outer frontier of space. You will study topics such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science and learn how to use advanced computer-aided engineering tools and techniques to prepare you for a career in production, process or manufacturing engineering. Our teaching is supported by world-class facilities, including laboratories dedicated to particular areas of work such as satellite communications, computer-aided design, electrical machines, materials testing, laser welding, hydraulics and fluids, large structures and geotechnics.
