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.

About this course
Creating ways to generate enough clean new energy to meet the demands of the world as it moves well into the 21st century is a major challenge for mechanical engineers. With increasing populations placing new and massive demands on existing resources and climate issues impacting traditional fossil based energy, the demand for novel thinking in this area has never been greater.
As a mechanical engineer you may find yourself working on projects to improve the effectiveness of traditional energy systems; increasing the efficiency of energy generated by oil or gas while at the same time working towards near zero emissions generation. Alternatively the need for long term, clean, renewable sources of energy is growing rapidly. Wind, wave, solar, tidal, geothermal and vegetable all require talented engineers to develop them to a stage where they can seriously compete with traditional methods and so offer a genuine clean alternative.
Our accredited BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Renewables degrees represent an ideal foundation for this career, giving a large number of core engineering, technology and transferable skills essential in underpinning a career in energy.
