机械工程师不断改进和发明技术，而不仅仅是保留现有系统，从而改善了我们所生活的世界。为了使我们的生活更轻松，我们使用的一切效率更高，机械工程师负责当今时代一些最具创新性的突破性设计，例如伦敦眼，风力涡轮机和外科手术机器人技术。成为机械工程师几乎可以打开从制造到建筑的各个行业领域的门，从设计阶段到调试和生产，着手解决问题的项目。在这个涉及设计，制造，研究，开发，管理和营销的多元化学科中，存在广泛的就业机会。机械工程师在埃克塞特（Exeter）的创新研究中取得了重大突破，例如，涉及人体植入物，由麻和腰果树脂等可
Mechanical engineers advance the world we live in by constantly improving and inventing technology, not just preserving existing systems. Making our lives easier and everything we use more efficient, mechanical engineers are responsible for some of the most innovative breakthrough designs of our times, such as The London Eye, wind turbines and surgical robotic technology. Becoming a mechanical engineer opens doors to nearly every area of industry, from manufacturing to construction, working on problem-solving projects from design stages through to commissioning and production. There is a broad range of employment opportunities within this diverse discipline involving design, manufacture, research, development, management and marketing. Here in Exeter, mechanical engineers are making considerable breakthroughs in innovative research involving, for example, human bone implants, break-pads made from sustainable resources like hemp and cashew nut resin and a machine that can produce customised 3D chocolate products of any shape. This research is undertaken and supervised by the same lecturers who tutor undergraduates from year 1, enabling them to cascade their exciting results and discoveries to students thus enhancing development through the engineering programmes.<br>3-year course, Full time (Optional sandwich year)
