Course summary

Mechanical engineering combines principles from mathematics and physics with creativity, problem-solving and teamwork skills to design, manufacture, operate and maintain physical machines and systems.Mechanical engineers work at the forefront of some of the biggest technological challenges we face today, such as providing sustainable energy and intelligent transport systems, designing medical devices and developing machines and systems to increase food production or explore the outer frontier of space.You will study topics such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science and learn how to use advanced computer-aided engineering tools and techniques to prepare you for a career in production, process or manufacturing engineering.Our teaching is supported by world-class facilities, including laboratories dedicated to particular areas of work such as satellite communications, computer-aided design, electrical machines, materials testing, laser welding, hydraulics and fluids, large structures and geotechnics.At Aberdeen, our interdisciplinary approach means that during your first two years, you will study the fundamentals of each engineering discipline before specialising in mechanical engineering in your third year. This broad-based approach means that you can keep your options open while also gaining a wide range of perspectives and skills - something that sets Aberdeen graduates apart and makes you better equipped to collaborate, innovate and lead in the workplace.
