Mechanical Design Engineering

Mechanical Design Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.

It integrates the understanding of core mechanicals and materials with the design process facilitated by the knowledge of manufacturing technologies and engineering principles. It involves the production and usage of mechanical power for the design and development of tools, machines or structures comprising moving parts that work together to make life easier. Mechanical Design Engineering makes the world go round, with applications for almost everything from taps to dams, bicycles to aircraft.

This degree programme seeks to meet the industrial challenges and demands by producing innovative engineers with the capabilities and aptitude for the design of engineering products. Students will learn to manipulate the core concepts of mechanics, kinematics, thermal and materials sciences. They will also learn structural analysis to design and analyse systems, equipment and machinery in key industries such as aerospace, maritime, robotics and healthcare.

Mechanical Design Engineers are essential for the design and development of mechanisms, components and structures which are integral parts of automotive, marine, aerospace, biomedical, chemical, construction, environmental, and power-generation industries, among others.
