毕业生将是合格的机械工程师和材料工程师。机械工程师设计和制造电厂，工业用机械和设备，并且在生产能源并将其转换为其他形式方面是专家。他们可能会设计涡轮机，土方机械，食品加工机，空调和制冷系统，人造心脏和肢体以及飞机或汽车的发动机。随着新兴产业的出现，对机械工程师的需求越来越广泛，而旧产业则利用自动化技术和新能源的优势。材料工程涉及设计和制造产品的材料的选择，加工和开发。材料-金属，合金，陶瓷，聚合物和复合材料-使制成品具有功能和美学品质。材料工程师利用他们对材料行为的了解来优化工艺并改善产品性能。他们还参与
Graduates will be qualified mechanical engineers and materials engineers. Mechanical engineers design and manufacture power plants, machinery and equipment for industry, and are expert in producing energy and converting it to other forms. They may design turbines, earthmoving machinery, food processors, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, artificial hearts and limbs, and engines for aircrafts or automobiles. The demand for mechanical engineers is increasingly broad, as new industries emerge, and old industries take advantage of automation developments and new sources of energy. Materials engineering is concerned with the selection, processing and development of materials to design and make products. Materials - metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites - give manufactured products their functional and aesthetic qualities. Materials engineers apply their knowledge of materials behaviour to optimise processing and improve the properties of products. They are also involved in controlling the service behaviour of materials, improving the performance of machines and structures.
