MEng, BEng Mechanical Engineering

Overview

Mechanical Engineering is perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines.
Mechanical engineers have a vast impact on modern living, working to make
continual improvements to the everyday things we have come to take for granted. Mechanical Engineers help shape the way we live through the design
and manufacture of everyday items such as sports equipment to high-tech operating theatres for hospitals, or industrial applications such as the structural design of oil platforms. A wide range of skills are needed to achieve this in an
efficient, environmentally-friendly and sustainable way.
