MEng Mechanical Engineering

Because of their professional mechanical engineering abilities and competence, modern society requires top-notch mechanical engineering graduates. Heriot-Watt University takes pride in the fact that these abilities are in high demand among its graduates.
From the aerospace, oil and gas, food, transportation, manufacturing, chemical, and entertainment industries, mechanical engineers are essential to every industrial sector. An interesting atmosphere is provided by mechanical engineering, where a variety of talents are combined to produce cutting-edge goods, infrastructure, and manufacturing technologies.
Through the development of goods or procedures that benefit people or the economy, this program seeks to generate engineering graduates who can meet the demands of society. Students will collaborate in groups to solve an engineering challenge in many of the courses, which contextualise mechanical engineering scientific concepts through mini-projects.
Bringing knowledge from all engineering science disciplines together in a project is a specific goal of the core courses in Design and Manufacturing, Sustainable Development, and Engineering Management. By collaborating with a faculty member on a specific mechanical engineering speciality, the third-year individual project enables students to specialise in a field of their choosing.
