MEng Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (5 years)

5 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Aberdeen

Program Overview

Mechanical engineering focuses on the innovative and inventive application of engineering concepts and scientific knowledge to influence our environment, by creating new materials, technologies, processes, and products. Mechanical engineers create and innovate all things that move or possess moving components, including spacecraft and aircraft, racing vehicles, everyday items such as refrigerators, and the tiny motors that spin a CD in a player, as well as robotic machinery control, nanotechnology, mechanical hearts, artificial limbs, exercise equipment, and technologies for oil and gas exploration and production, along with wind turbines. 

Electrical Engineers are essential to our society for a wide range of applications, including low power electrical machines, control systems, and high voltage power generation and distribution systems. Electrical and Electronic Engineering lies at the heart of today's world, encompassing computers, digital circuits, photonics, and numerous electronic gadgets. Electrical and Electronic engineering is among the most rewarding fields you can pursue.
