TUT Mechanical Engineering 2024

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, which applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.
The mechanical student will be trained to use principles of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and structural analysis, along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating, and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and more.​
Mechanical Egineering at TUT is offered under the following Qualification;
  • Higher Certificate
  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • Bachelor Honours Degree
  • Baccalaureus Technologiae
  • Master’s Degree
  • Doctoral Degree
