BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

The programme builds fundamental knowledge in mechanical engineering with the ability to develop mechanical products and components, operate engineering equipment and technological systems, and solve technical problems within integrated engineering systems. Learning outcomes include applying mathematical methods such as calculus, differential equations, and statistics to engineering problems, selecting and evaluating engineering materials, combining core subjects such as materials and machine mechanics, thermodynamics, and manufacturing technologies, and applying design methodologies to mechanical systems, biomechanical systems for orthopaedics and sport, robotic systems, and thermal systems for heating, cooling, and renewable energy. Special skills cover identifying and solving engineering problems using modelling, computational analysis, and specialised software, while research and practical training involve planning experiments and weighing the functionality, strength, reliability, and safety of a design, including its social and environmental impact. Teaching combines classroom lectures, laboratory work, and enterprise visits with individual study, and the programme concludes with a final degree project and its defence, assessed through a cumulative weighting of results.
