Study mechanical engineering at Edinburgh Napier University and gain the opportunity to enter an exciting and varied field of engineering, allowing you to design and develop machinery we use every day including vehicles, building, healthcare and even space technology.<\/p>

We will provide you with an introduction to engineering principles, ensuring you grasp the basic skills involved before progressing into more specialised areas such as thermodynamic
systems and mechanics of materials.<\/p>

As you advance through this course you\u2019ll learn to apply and develop your skills to become
proficient in the analysis and design of a range of engineering systems and applications, to
prepare you for a professional role in the industry. You will also get the opportunity to undertake work placements that will give you essential industry experience and valuable contacts, helping to lead to future employment.<\/p>

You\u2019ll also learn about Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), which includes robotics and control, computer aided design software (CAD), computational analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer (CFD), structural analysis (FEA) and environmental impact assessments (LCA).

Through this, you will graduate with a versatile degree that will allow you to embark on a career in many different industries.<\/p>

As a graduate mechanical engineer, you could develop exciting new technologies that are essential for modern living, alter the way we use energy for the better, and have a profound effect on how we travel. In fact, you could have a hand in almost every aspect of people\u2019s lives.<\/p>

Today, mechanical engineers play a key role in producing the most innovative technologies, such as the electric car, 3D printing, nanotechnology and renewable energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
