COURSE OVERVIEW


Mechanical Engineering is in demand in South Africa and is one of the broadest areas
of engineering, attracting students who are proficient in mathematics and physics.
Mechanical Engineers are logical thinkers who thrive on intricate challenges and
problem-solving.

Mechanical engineers are primarily designers who develop, build and test mechanical
and thermal sensors and devices from tools to engines and machines. They design
and construct equipment for all mechanical applications e.g. mining, vehicle
manufacturing, fleet maintenance, etc.
