About Us

Mechanical Engineering is a branch of Engineering, concerned primarily with the application of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in the design, manufacture, use, repair and maintenance of engines, machines, tools, equipment, products, components and structures. It is one of the oldest, and broadest of the Engineering disciplines. The existence of most Engineering disciplines is pillared on Mechanical Engineering. Generally, and of particular mention, the Automotive, Aircraft, Agricultural, Electrical, Electronics, Biotechnology, Energy, Manufacturing, Mining, Production, Ship, Water industries and many others extensively rely on Mechanical Engineering. The totality of these industries use Mechanical equipment manufactured through Mechanical Engineering processes and activities, and as a result, we today have an infinite “A-to-Z” list of disciplines dependent on Mechanical Engineering. Technically, there is globally no real limit of job opportunities for Mechanical Engineers due to the high demand for Mechanical Engineering expertise in various fields of Engineering. Mechanical Engineering centres its focus on creating technologies that are meant to meet human needs. This involves solving today’s problems and creating future solutions through teaching, community engagement, research, innovation and industrialization
