Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems, from precision components in medical devices to large-scale machinery in manufacturing plants, vehicles, and energy infrastructure. It draws on classical mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials science, and it has been transformed in recent decades by the integration of computing, sensors, and digital simulation tools. The result is a discipline that combines fundamental physical reasoning with sophisticated modern practice, and mechanical engineers are employed across virtually every sector of the economy. At the University of Northampton, this BEng Mechanical Engineering is available to study part-time, making it a practical route into the profession for students who are already in employment or who have other commitments that mak
