Mechanical Engineering is one of the most multidisciplinary areas of engineering.
Proof of this is that it offers opportunities in diverse activities such as: automation, automotive engineering, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), materials and manufacturing processes, structural mechanics and mechanical systems, planning and production, modelling, sizing and manufacturing, and biomechanics.
If you picture yourself designing, developing, building, testing and operating solutions for the competitiveness of organisations and human well-being, playing a crucial role in the innovation of the technology and infrastructure that drive our modern world, this is your engineering.
You will receive training that will enable you to apply the principles of physics and materials science.
