Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most foundational branches of the engineering family. It applies the principles of physics, mathematics and materials science to the design, analysis, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical systems, from engines and turbines to robots and structures, from microscale devices to large-scale industrial plant. Mechanical engineers are the people who turn ideas about what technology might do into physical systems that actually work, reliably and safely, in the real world. At the University of Kent, this three-year full-time programme has been designed to give you the experience and skills to design, build and optimise genuinely impactful innovations. You will develop a strong grounding in the mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, materials, manufacturing processes and computational methods. You will learn to model and analyse mec
