Course Description

This degree programme in Mechanical Engineering is relevant to a range of industries, since it covers the key mechanical engineering principles and subject areas for the plant engineer. The course is therefore wide-ranging and it will develop the candidates’ ability to apply these principles to solve engineering problems in a variety of work environments and business concerns. The course contains study-units in various areas such as Fluid Mechanics, Plant Technology, Control Principles, Control Engineering, Electrical Technology, HVAC, Vibration Analysis and Heat Engines. Additional managerial modules and modules in environmental engineering further enhance this programme so that graduates may add real value to the organisation that employs them.
This course is recognised by the Board tal-Inġiniera as a prerequisite for the application of the Engineering Warrant (Ing.) as established by ACT No. XLVIII of 2021.
