What Is Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineering plays a critical role in many industries including aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, renewable energy and automotive. In fact, there is little in the world around us that isn't produced from mechanical engineering innovations, from the cars we drive to the way our food is processed.

Fundamentally, mechanical engineering is the study of objects and systems in motion, however the role of a mechanical engineer is much more. A mechanical engineer needs to take ideas and concepts and turn them into safe, practical products. They must be able to determine the forces and thermal environment that a product, or its parts, will experience and must be able to design them for functionality, aesthetics, and durability.

In our courses you will learn about engineering design, structural mechanics and dynamics, forces, machines and systems, CAD skills, and engineering materials. In addition you will cover the fundamental maths and science that underpin engineering as a whole.
