Advice

Mechanical Engineering covers a very broad field: the main (traditional) areas are mechanics, materials, and design, fluid mechanics, dynamics and thermodynamics, but topics in control and instrumentation, electrical materials, civils, energy and bioengineering are also relevant.   Combinations of courses can be found to suit many different career paths.  It would be prudent for students to consult their Directors of Studies or the Engineering Area Coordinator before choosing a very eclectic mix of courses, in case a lack of overlap makes the workload unusually high.

Specialist advice on this Engineering Area can be obtained from the Engineering Area coordinator.
