Program Overview

Program Description:

Modern mechanical engineering requires people who are able to combine a very broad range of technical, scientific, creative and management skills to achieve goals in sectors ranging from space exploration to energy management to surgical innovation.

At the University of Dundee we pride ourselves in taking a modern systems based approach to developing mechanical engineering skills of our students. We have invested heavily in important new areas of engineering including rapid prototyping, renewable energy and embedded control technology.

You will study mechatronics (the integration of electronics and computer control with mechanical engineering), providing you with a broad range of skills for the development of modern, high performance products.

A BEng (Hons) degree in Mechanical Engineering, as with medicine or law, is regarded as a professional qualification. This means that an external body, in this case the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) regularly checks the quality and structure of our courses. Our graduates can ultimately become Chartered Engineers.

Real-world challenges
Each year, the University of Dundee DRIVE racing team design, build, market and race a single seat, rear engine racing car as part of the global iMechE Formula Student competition at Silverstone.

We believe that students learn best in an application-led teaching environment. You will have the opportunity to get involved in numerous practical and industrial led projects.
