ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
Mechanical engineering deals with anything that moves including the human body.
Mechanical engineers learn about materials, statics and dynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, control engineering, industrial engineering, instrumentation and design. It also covers designing and manufacturing everything from small individual parts to large systems such as air-planes and spacecraft.
Mechanical engineering is perhaps the broadest and most diverse engineering discipline as it will require you to learn skills for everything that is made.
Is this programme for me?
- Do you like physics and mathematics?
- Are you always curious about how things work?
- Do you like to dismantle things to see what’s inside and put them back together?
- Do you see yourself as an inventor?
- Do you like to build something new?
- Do you want to be able to contribute and make a difference to the world?
If you have these characteristics, then this programme may suit you.
What will I learn?
This programme involves the principles of engineering such as statics, materials science, design and analysis of mechanical parts and systems.
This field also requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, electrical and electronic system.
Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided design, and product life-cycle management to design and analyse manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transportation systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and others.
What should I expect?
Solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry is required for a student to acquire knowledge and skills effectively in his/her learning process in this programme.
Graduates of this programme will be capable of performing engineering tasks in the manufacturing or production sectors, power generation, oil and gas sectors, transportation (road, train, naval, aircraft), building services and construction industries.
