Mechanical engineering is a very broad branch of professional engineering, and mechanical engineers are found in almost every type of engineering activity.

This four-year degree covers all aspects of mechanical engineering, including the study of:

• power generation
• transportation
• building services
• machinery
• manufacturing
• computer aided design
• advanced materials
• environmental studies
• aspects of electrical engineering
• biomedical engineering: biomedical technology, biomechanics, biomaterials and orthopaedic engineering
• management.

A feature of the program is advanced computer usage, which combines the creative and practical side of engineering with engineering principles. Students are able to specialise in the final year of the program and have many opportunities to make contacts in industry and professional practice.
