Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. From engines, turbines, and industrial machinery to precision instruments, vehicle systems, and renewable energy technologies, mechanical engineers apply the principles of physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science to create and optimise the physical systems that power the modern world. The discipline is one of the most versatile in engineering, with applications across virtually every sector of the economy. At the University of the West of England in Bristol, this three-year, full-time BEng is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, ensuring it meets the academic requirements for progression towards professional engineering status. The programme is practice-oriented, and the day release study option reflects it
