实际上，机械工程师可能以某种方式触及了现代生活中的每个产品。因此，机械工程被视为最多样化的工程学科之一也就不足为奇了。该计划提供专门针对提高石油和天然气行业技能的学习经验。机械工程致力于通过开发新材料，新技术，新工艺和新产品，创造性地和创造性地使用工程原理和科学来塑造我们周围的世界。机械工程师设计并开发一切可移动或具有移动部件的产品，从航天器，飞机到赛车，从家用产品（如冰箱）到小型电机（可将CD播放机中的CD变成CD），从机械手控制到纳米技术，从机械心脏和人造肢体到健身器材，从油气勘探和生产技术到风力涡轮
Virtually every product in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer. It is not surprising therefore that Mechanical Engineering is regarded as one of the most diverse engineering disciplines.This programme offers up a learning experience specifically aimed at enhancing skills for the oil and gas industry.Mechanical engineering is concerned with creative and imaginative use of engineering principles and science to shape the world around us, through the development of new materials, technologies, processes and products. Mechanical engineers design and develop everything that moves or has moving parts, ranging from space craft and aeroplanes to racing cars, from household goods like refrigerators to the small motors that turn a CD in a CD player, from robotic control of machinery to nanotechnologies, from mechanical hearts and artificial limbs to fitness machines, and from oil and gas exploration and production technologies to wind turbines.The oil and gas industry in the UK has grown and strived over the last 40 years because of the engineering skills and developments in technology that have been brought to the market. As the industry continues to adapt for the next 40 years, the need for experienced, forward-thinking engineers has never been greater.
