BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Introduction ranging solutions for state-of-the-art mechanical systems.
The program provides mechanical engineering students
Mechanical Engineering is the branch of engineering with the opportunity to learn through a combination
that deals with the design, construction and operation of theory and lab work. This mix of theory and practical
of machinery. It is an exciting field that encompasses all application allows students to think things through and
engineering aspects of almost everything that moves in then apply their ideas in a variety of real life situations.
