Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest and most enduring branches of engineering, concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines, structures, and industrial systems across an enormous range of applications. From the internal combustion engine and the jet turbine to biomedical devices, manufacturing robots, and the mechanical systems of offshore platforms, mechanical engineers are responsible for the physical machinery that makes modern civilisation function. The discipline draws on mathematics, physics, materials science, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and the principles of structural analysis and dynamics. At Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, this four-year, full-time BEng (Hons) programme develops the technical depth and professional orientation that a career in mechanical engineering requires. You will study the core subjects of the discipline, includ
