Mechanical Engineering students are trained to be problem solvers.
What is the degree in Mechanical Engineering about?
Mechanical Engineering is a core engineering discipline. Mechanical engineers are concerned with the design, development, manufacture, operation and maintenance of a wide variety of machinery from large mechanical machines like jet and rocket engines to minute instruments and apparatus used in medicine.
Mechanical engineers plan and design such diverse products as plastic hip joints, power producing machines such as turbines and internal combustion engines, automobiles, refrigeration equipment, vacuum cleaners, kitchen mixers and electric golf trolleys. Without the mechanical engineer, we would not have the motorcar, dishwashers, paperclips, central air-conditioning and many more items that we now take for granted and rely on in our daily lives.
How is the course delivered?
The course is delivered through lectures and practicals. Lectures make up approximately 60% and practicals 40% of the course content. Continuous assessment is typically 50% of the final examination. Tutorials in mathematics are provided at the start of 1st year.
