Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons)

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.

School of Science and Engineering - Through our teaching and research, we bring together subjects in Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to address global societal challenges and develop life-changing technologies.

We do this as a community of students, staff, alumni, and friends. We know we might not change the world alone, but by working together and combining our potential we can solve big problems. We recognize the strength in disciplines – science, medicine, art & design, humanities, engineering, social sciences – but also in the greater strength of combined excellence. We do it based on our core beliefs of fairness, equality, and the advancement and application of knowledge that were established when we were founded over 100 years ago. Mary Ann Baxter, whose donation helped establish what was then University College Dundee, said we should be an institution "promoting the education of persons of both sexes, and the study of science, literature, and the fine arts”.
