MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Apply fundamental laws of maths and science to create mechanical devices that we use every day

Mechanical engineering plays a critical role in solving the world’s grand challenges by producing sustainable energy, providing a safe environment and clean water, building safe and efﬁcient transportation systems, designing new means of energy conversion and storage, and improving mechanical/electrical systems in homes and buildings. Emerging high technology ﬁelds of nano-materials and biomechanics are further examples of areas where mechanical engineering plays a vital role. Furthermore, established areas of mechanical engineering such as design, manufacturing, automation and control are essential elements to devising large-scale complex systems that drive the global economy.
