Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. From the components of a jet engine to the mechanisms in a medical device, mechanical engineers apply the principles of physics and materials science to create machines, structures, and systems that are reliable, efficient, and fit for purpose. The field underpins manufacturing, energy, transport, aerospace, and many other industries, and the analytical and problem-solving skills it develops are transferable across a wide range of professional contexts. At the University of Sunderland, you will study mechanical engineering over three years full-time, covering core areas including mechanics, thermofluids, electrical principles, manufacturing processes, materials science, and microprocessors. You will develop both the theoretical u
