The programme deals with the manipulation of energy through useful mechanical devices and the application of thermodynamics and heat transfer systems. The programme prepares students for positions as engineers with the knowledge, problem solving ability, and managerial skills to enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing and maintenance of mechanical systems. Students will gain expertise in mechanical design, turbomachinery and process control. Graduates typically have strengths in the analysis, applied design, development and implementation of mechanical systems and processes.
