Bachelor Of Engineering (Hons.) (Mechanical Engineering)

Mechanical Engineering addresses the analysis and development of technological systems involving motions, and also permits humanity to harness the energy and forces that exist in nature, providing for the needs of society.

These systems may comprise mechanisms or machines made up of moving components or involve fluid flow within or around solid structures to impart forces or energy interactions. These could range from micro-mechanical devices through to massive power generating turbines.

The work of a mechanical engineer could include the design and specification of components or entire systems, design and planning of manufacturing processes, plant operation and maintenance, consulting, research and development, and management.

These tasks are common to a wide range of industries such as power generation, air material processing, transport, water supply and their support industries.
