Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is the professional engineering discipline which covers the design and development of 'things that move'. Items such as engines, pumps, industrial plants, airconditioning/ refrigeration systems, manufacturing processes, building services and even space stations are included under this heading.

Mechanical engineers offer expertise in the fields of combustion, noise control, energy technology, vibrations, control systems, robotics, quality management, bio-engineering, aeronautics or fluid mechanics, manufacture, simulation and plant layout.

Good mechanical engineering is built on a strong foundation of theory, reinforced by experience and innovation. The mechanical engineer of today is heavily involved in the development and use of new materials and technologies, as well as design using the most advanced computer systems and software.
Design is the backbone of the program. It begins in earnest in the second year with a design and build project, followed by a more advanced project in third year and a large design/research project in the final year. This activity is supported by both design and engineering science courses, including, in second year, courses like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine dynamics, materials, manufacturing and design for strength and function.

In the third year these courses are extended and students prepare for the final professional year which deals with specialist courses such as management and finance, automatic control, advanced vibrations, noise control, robotics, airconditioning and refrigeration, computational fluid mechanics, manufacturing, fracture mechanics, composite materials, joining of materials, signal processing, system modelling and simulation and aerospace engineering companies.
