Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the broadest of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems at every scale. It encompasses thermodynamics and heat transfer, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics and materials, dynamics and control, manufacturing processes, and design methodology. Mechanical engineers work on everything from aerospace structures and automotive powertrains to medical devices, renewable energy systems, and robotics, applying fundamental physical principles to create solutions that work reliably and efficiently in the real world. The discipline is central to almost every industry in the economy and to the technological transitions that will shape the coming decades. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time programme provides a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering principles and their applica
