Mechanical and Material Systems major

major: Mechanical and Material Systems major
description: Mechanical and Material systems is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, mathematics and materials science for the design, research , analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of products and machinery and is one of the broadest of the engineering disciplines. This discipline requires an understanding of concepts that includes mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, manufacturing technologies, structural analysis and tools such as computer-aided design. Engineers with mechanical and materials systems major are employed in a diverse range of industries including mining, defence, manufacturing, Infrastructure development, automotive, aerospace, health, power generation, ship building, food processing, energy and agriculture.
