Mechanical engineering is about putting ideas into action. It is about inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and maintaining products, equipment and machinery of all kinds. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of materials, mechanisms, power, energy and manufacturing technology to produce specifications for their designs and to see those designs become a reality. They also build and test prototypes in order to prove their designs.This course is a result of comprehensive industry engagement defining future needs regionally and nationally. The course will equip our students with the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical expertise demanded by leading global employers to work in this constantly evolving field.
