The Mechanical Engineering course is offered by Brunel University London.

YouÕll get a solid grounding in the core principles of engineering science including solid body mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science as well as in the fundamentals of design and manufacturing.

YouÕll also get training in related disciplines integral to mechanical engineering such as computing Ð used in modelling and predicting outcomes; electrical engineering Ð to gage how much energy is needed to run a machine and how it can be generated and controlled; and electronics - because parts in many machines are electronic as well as mechanical.

And, as mechanical engineers not only design many exciting products but venture into managing projects and companies, youÕll study elements of management, ethics, finance and law.
