Mechanical engineering applies human and material resources to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines to move people, goods and materials, generate energy, produce goods and services, control pollution and dispose of wastes. Mechanical engineers focus on turning energy into power and motion. More specifically, this discipline looks at the generation, conversion and use of energy, as well as the design, construction and operation of devices and systems. You will learn from world leaders in fluid mechanics, turbulence and biomechanics and have the opportunity to undertake an industry project combining research and practical implementation. You will benefit from group activities and site visits to help consolidate theory with practical applications. You will have access to well-equipped laboratories for materials testing, engine/turbine testing, wind tunnel investigations, simulation and metal forming processes. A heavy engineering workshop is available for the manufacture of testing facilities and research apparatus, as well as extensive computer facilities.
