Mechanical Engineering

This course is designed to give you the key technical, managerial and team-working skills needed to thrive in the mechanical engineering and related industries. Mechanical Engineers are trained to produce practical designs for a wide range of practical applications - from engines to complete Formula 1 racing cars, from artificial heart valves to state-of-the art wheelchairs. You could find yourself working on various projects from very small micro-robots to space

stations. It is a great challenge and you need good technical skills as well as the ability to work in a team if you are going to be successful. The course at MIIS has been designed to give you experiences that will allow you to apply what you learn in an industrial setting.

The course is modular in nature and structured to allow students to gradually build on their knowledge and skills. It has a large practical element which underpins the learning in lectures. This can take many forms including laboratory work in our modern facilities, team projects and industrial seminars.
The present-day mechanical engineering field spans a ever increasing spectrum of studies including design and operation of energy conversion systems, fuel cells, and computer aided design and modelling of engineered systems, to name just a few. Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It requires a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating & cooling systems, watercraft, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, medical devices and more.

Becoming a Mechanical Engineer

The scope of mechanical engineering includes all aspects of the mechanics of equipment and processes used in this rapidly developing technical era.

Mechanical engineers play a key role in the all fields of automation, fluid machinery, and in the fields of automation, in manufacturing and biomechanical systems, and consumer goods and appliances to name a few.

Because a mechanical engineer might work in any one of these fields, the academic program has been planned to offer a challenging and basic education. It is designed to provide knowledge of the basic physical sciences, and to encourage the development of ingenuity for the purpose of creating well-engineered solutions to technological problems.

Teaching and Learning

MIIS believes in delivering its courses with an interactive, two-way exchange of information between students and our staff. We believe learning does not happen by simply listening to a lecture or reading handouts – the student is an integral part of their own education.

The staff make use of a range of teaching and learning instruments including lectures, tutorials, laboratories, group work and computer assisted learning. They are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in their own areas of specialism, and are authorities, and to passing this knowledge through their inspirational teaching. Our teaching is student-centred and is supported by excellent resources including specialist texts and web-based support.
