Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most fundamental of the engineering disciplines. It is concerned with the analysis, design, manufacture and operation of physical systems, from the smallest precision components to large-scale energy infrastructure. Mechanical engineers work with forces, materials, fluids, thermodynamics and dynamics, and they apply scientific principles to solve practical problems across an enormous range of industries: energy, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, biomedical devices, robotics and beyond. The discipline trains you to think analytically, to model and test ideas, and to bring creative solutions to real technical challenges. At the University of Strathclyde, this four-year full-time programme is taught within an engineering school with strong links to Scottish and international industry. You will study the foundational mathematical and phy
