Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering sits at the foundation of the industrial world, concerned with designing, building and maintaining the physical systems and devices that transform energy and matter into useful forms. From turbines, engines and pumps to medical devices, robots and aerospace components, mechanical engineers apply the principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and materials science to create things that work. In a period of rapid technological change, mechanical engineers are central to the transition to cleaner energy, the development of autonomous vehicles and the growing role of robotics in manufacturing and healthcare. At the University of Portsmouth, the three-year full-time BEng develops your engineering knowledge and practical skills across the core areas of the discipline, preparing you to engage with contemporary challenges in transport, energy, healthcare and
