Mechanical Engineering
Why choose mechanical engineering?
Mechanical engineers work to improve the design, safety and energy efficiency of wind turbines, air conditioners, ships, mining equipment, cars, lifts, aircraft and more. They use their knowledge of the physical world to design the equipment and processes that other engineers utilise to create modern life. Transport such as planes, trains and cars are among the most visible items associated with mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers play an important role in the shift from a carbon economy to a renewable energy system and deal with global warming.
