The BEng Engineering (Mechanical) at the University of Aberdeen is designed for aspiring engineers who are passionate about the principles of mathematics and physics, and eager to apply them to the design, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of physical machines and systems. You will explore core mechanical engineering concepts, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, solids and structures, and materials science, developing a robust understanding of how these elements interact. This undergraduate degree provides a strong foundation for a career where innovation and problem-solving are paramount.
This full-time, on-campus BEng programme is studied over four years, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application through laboratory work and design projects. You will engage with subjects like circuit analysis, CAD, and engineering mathematics, progressing to advanced topics such as fluid dynamics, heat and momentum transfer, and nonlinear solid mechanics in your later years. In your final year, you will undertake a significant individual or group design project, preparing you to graduate with the skills and experience sought by employers in the mechanical engineering sector.
