Mechanical Engineering
Do you want to make a difference with smart engineering solutions and innovations? The Mechanical Engineering (ME) programme will teach you everything you need to know about the design, analysis, manufacture and technical improvement of products, machines, and structures. As a mechanical engineer, you will be challenged to develop innovative technologies and processes that minimise environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
You will learn everything you need to know about the design, manufacture and technical improvement of products, machines, and structures. You will take courses in communication, project management and research. By creating concepts of your design, you will achieve a complete and final design of your product. You will use software such as SolidWorks, C++, and Matlab.
Mechanical engineering focuses on technical courses in mechanics, fluid dynamics and materials science. There are also courses in the design and manufacture of products, machines, and structures. Courses in costing and personal development complete the programme.
The first year includes courses such as statics, fluid dynamics, materials science, and manufacturing engineering. You will also develop your presentation and reporting skills by applying your new technical knowledge to practical projects. These projects, combined with company presentations and visits, will give you an insight into the work of a mechanical engineer.
