BA In Designing, Manufacturing and Maintenance of Machines At University of Johannesburg‎ (UJ)

Mechanical engineers work throughout the product lifecycle, including design, development, installation, testing and maintenance.

Most mechanical engineers work in either research and development or the manufacturing and construction industries.

This is one of the most diverse of the engineering disciplines and encompasses the power, manufacturing, construction and medical sectors.

The field requires a deep understanding of the core concepts of mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science, because mechanical engineers use these principles, along with computer-aided design tools and project management knowledge, to deliver a wide range of products from aircraft and weapons to robotics and medical devices
