Mechanical engineering is about the
efficient use of energy in the design and
function of all types of mechanisms,
from the simplest to the most complex.
It covers the generation, conversion, transmission
and use of mechanical and thermal energy, and
includes the design, construction and operation of
devices and systems. Growth industries include
advanced manufacturing, smart buildings,
renewable energy, medical engineering and
consulting practice.
Mechanical engineers are increasingly engaged in
the design and operation of devices that require
skills that cross traditional discipline boundaries.
You might design automatic control systems, or
create efficiently heated and cooled buildings. You
could manage the water supply for a whole state,
take charge of the operation of a smart building,
design wind turbines or highly efficient, low-cost
products for the developing world.
You might be called on to optimise the
aerodynamics of trucks and trains, work with the
medical profession to create robots that can
operate with greater precision than a human, or
be at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing
using 3D printers to create aircraft parts with
elegance and function.
