Welcome to the BSc. (Hons) Engineering Physics (Mechanical Applications)

A mechanical applications option teaches you to work across teams, refining and testing applications to provide support and expertise. Students acquire a deep knowledge of physical and mathematical principles and how to apply that knowledge to solve society’s problems. The mechanical applications option provides a core foundation in mechanics and engineering mechanics. Engineering physics is an interdisciplinary degree program combining the study of physics and engineering into one curriculum. Students acquire a thorough knowledge of physical and mathematical principles and also learn how to apply this knowledge to meet the needs of society. The interdisciplinary nature of this program produces graduates who can work in diversified fields and who can easily adapt their skills to the needs of their employers. You will have the ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.

Career Path

Mechanical Applications graduates work in almost all sectors of the engineering industry. You can find jobs in aerospace, automotive, chemical, construction, electronics, or metal industries, and more. Examples of job titles include mechanical engineer, industrial engineer, automotive engineer and technical sales engineer.
