What is mechanical engineering? 

Mechanical engineers design, manufacture and optimise specialist machines and processes.  

Mechanical Engineering is at the heart of many aeronautical, motorsport and manufacturing teams. 

You could learn to design self-driving farm machinery for ultra-efficient food production. 

Or you might tackle health issues by building revolutionary biomechanical solutions for people with disabilities.

Mechanical engineers are valued for their generalist knowledge across different engineering disciplines. 

They are often employed in discipline-agnostic roles as project managers, designers or advisors.
