B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering
The mechanical engineering program is designed to provide comprehensive engineering education for students interested in machines, thermo-fluids and energy systems. Complex systems such as aircraft involve structures, advanced materials, sensors and thermo-fluid systems. Given Khalifa University’s mission, the students will be exposed to this core engineering discipline through the study and application of the principles of physics to a broad range of systems, ranging from wide body aircraft to nanodevices. Laboratories and industry led projects allow graduates to be ready to create the next generation of ideas and products.
The Mechanical Engineering program will be offered only at the Abu Dhabi campus.
