- Mechanical engineering is concerned with the management of people and resources, the creation and use of new technologies, and the design and development of new materials, processes, and products. This mostly involves 'things that move', such as motor vehicles, aircraft systems, engines, pumps, gas turbines, industrial plants, air-conditioning/refrigeration systems, manufacturing processes, building services, and even space stations.
- With a strong focus on design and hands-on experience, graduates can obtain knowledge of design and engineering sciences through courses such as heat transfer and thermodynamics, dynamics and control, aerodynamics, structural design, and solid mechanics as well as a range of advanced technical coursework in specialist topics.
