This Mechanical Engineering degree programme provides the learners with a solid understanding of relevant engineering fundamentals and prepares them for a broad range of career options in the manufacturing field. This field is becoming increasingly more and more high tech. The programme is structured around studies which will develop in learners a firm understanding of principles and disciplines which are needed in the modelling, measuring, analysis and design of mechanical components and systems. On completing the course, graduates will be expected to demonstrate that they have assimilated the professional skills necessary for formulating and executing engineering projects. The course also provides training in teamwork and effective communication skills.

This course is recognised by the Board tal-Inġiniera as a prerequisite for the application of the Engineering Warrant (Inġ.) as established by ACT No. XLVIII of 2021.
