Future Students - Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics
Mechanical engineering involves understanding the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines, that is, any implement or machine with moving parts. Mechanical engineers develop and design new products - such as photocopiers, air conditioners, cars, aircraft and cameras - and the machines to make them. They manage the systems, people and technical facilities needed to produce goods and services, like power stations and manufacturing systems. They are concerned with the generation and harnessing of energy including solar heating and wine turbines.
Mechatronics is a discipline concerned with the integration of mechanical, electronic and software engineering. A detailed understanding of how these areas interact enables the development of 'smart' products and systems such as computer controlled robots and washing machines.
