Mechanical Engineering Beng (hons) in University of Dundee

Mechanical engineering combines a range of technical, creative, and management skills. It plays an important role in a range of sectors including aerospace, energy management, and surgical innovation.

This degree focuses on mechatronics - the integration of electrical and mechanical components. This means you'll learn to design and manufacture modern, high performance products across a range of industries.

You'll also learn about microcontroller programming, software for computer-aided design (CAD), and how to implement engineering solutions with economic constraints. For example, you'll take part in an engineering design project where you'll design and manufacture a prototype. 

You'll have the opportunity to get involved in practical and industrial-led projects. You'll use the knowledge and skills gained throughout your studies to present solutions to industry experts.

We are the only Scottish university taking part in the CMS Collaboration, a major experiment at the Large Hadron Collider CERN. Our students have had the opportunity to visit the site during their studies. 

You could also join our DRIVE racing team. Each year, they design, build, seek sponsorship for and race a single seat, rear engine racing car as part of the global iMechE Formula Student competition at Silverstone.

Career

As a mechanical engineer you may find yourself working on projects to improve the effectiveness of traditional energy systems, increasing the efficiency of energy generated by oil or gas while at the same time working towards near zero emissions generation.

Alternatively the need for long term, clean, renewable sources of energy is growing rapidly. Wind, wave, solar, tidal, geothermal, and vegetable all require talented engineers to develop them to a stage where they can seriously compete with traditional methods and so offer a genuine clean alternative.

Demand for graduates in this area is immense with many of the multinational energy companies, including BP, Shell, and Exxon, recruiting significant numbers of new engineers annually to work in both traditional and emerging energy technologies.
