Description

Almost every product or service you see in our world has in some way been influenced by a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineering is about turning energy into motion and power. It covers the generation, conversion, transmission and use of mechanical and thermal energy, and includes the design, construction and operation of devices and systems.

A mechanical engineer might design advanced materials for supersonic and hypersonic space travel, robots and automatic control systems, or perhaps work alongside medical professionals to investigate the human body and design aids and instruments for medicine.

Units

For the sequence of units required to complete a given course in this area of study, refer to the Handbook entry for the relevant course.
