Have you ever dreamed of building a robot or designing an aircraft? Have a passion for racing cars and want to be part of a Formula 1 development team? Maybe you're fascinated by nanotechnology, developments in cleaner and more efficient energy use, or even the study of sound pollution and sound-proofing. Want to make a contribution to the development of sustainable energy or be a part of the creation of more advanced forms of artificial intelligence? If any of the above grabs your attention, then maybe you should consider a mechanical engineering career – starting with a mechanical engineering degree.
As the list above should indicate, mechanical engineering degrees offer a wide range of specializations to choose from, with diverse opportunities to contribute to the next stage in the development of modern technology. At undergraduate level, students will start with an introduction to key mechanical engineering topics, such as statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, stress analysis, mechanical design and technical drawing. As the course progresses, there should be more opportunities to specialize in a particular field within which mechanical engineering skills are applied, such as vehicle design, robotics, nanotechnology or energy.
Applicants to all engineering degrees are expected to have a strong background in mathematics and physics, which provide the basic foundations for most mechanical engineering skills.
