Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems, from individual components and machines through to complex systems such as vehicles, aircraft, and manufacturing plants. It combines the physical sciences, particularly mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials science, with mathematics and engineering design to understand how physical systems behave and how they can be built to perform reliably and efficiently. Mechanical engineers are involved in almost every product and process that involves motion, force, energy, or physical structure, making the discipline one of the broadest and most transferable in engineering. At London South Bank University, this part-time programme consistently scores highly in university rankings and is designed to turn top-class learning into practical skills you ca
