The aim of the programme is to produce qualified graduate mechanical engineers to meet the requirements of engineering organisations and industries in Brunei Darussalam. The programme is broad based and covers all general areas of mechanical engineering such as design, manufacturing, materials, applied mechanics and thermo-fluids.

Future Careers

Mechanical engineers serve in many sectors including upstream and downstream energy, aviation, military, building and manufacturing sectors. Graduates from the programme will be able to enter the workforce immediately, or to further their studies in various fields of mechanical engineering at the postgraduate level. Graduates are equipped with fundamental problem-solving and numeracy skills which enable them to adapt to the challenges of working in many other industries, as well as in research and development.

Note: List of elective modules offered in each semester is subject to change based on availability of resources and number of students.

Accreditation

The BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. The accredited BEng (Hons) will also automatically meet in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
