Overview

In the first year of the Associate Degree, you'll learn fundamental principles of engineering that apply across different areas of engineering. In the second year you'll major in Mechanical Engineering and take major-specific courses and complete a capstone project. You will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design, install, maintain, analyse and improve a range of devices, systems and infrastructures.

In the Bachelor you’ll learn how to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems and approaches which are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. You'll focus on bringing together the fundamentals of engineering sciences, maths and engineering design. You can specialise in energy or transport and logistics. Sustainable systems engineering brings together the new technologies and innovative approaches we need for sustainable global development. It strives to meet the needs of society within economic and ecological constraints.
