Bachelor of Science in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Description of the Programme

Mechanical and manufacturing engineering applies human and material resources to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines (supported increasingly by sophisticated computer technology) to move people, goods and materials; generate energy; produce goods and services; and control pollution and dispose of wastes. It interacts with all other branches of engineering including the medical sciences. This is a broad area focusing on the design and development of products and processes.  The mechanical engineering component has a strong product and equipment design element, while the manufacturing engineering component analyses the processes and systems required to produce goods. Together with the study of the basic engineering principles, design is the cornerstone of the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. The programme covers engineering design; basic mechanical engineering sciences (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanics and machine dynamics); materials and electro-mechanical system modelling; engineering mechanics, manufacturing systems, manufacturing technology, mechanics of materials,  enterprise resource management, heat & mass transfer, applied fluids mechanics and manufacturing facilities among others. The Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology graduates will be prepared to create efficient solutions to problems in the design, material applications, processes analysis, computer applications, quality assurance, quality control, product testing and analysis, automated fabrication and assembling, and the management of production.
