UCL was home to the UK’s first-ever Professor of the Mechanical Principles of Engineering, Eaton Hodgkinson, in 1847. It was also where Sir Alexander Blackie William Kennedy introduced organised laboratory practicals in university engineering training; a world-leading educational innovation at the time.
What is Mechanical Engineering?
Watch this short video (narrated by Dr Adam Wojcik) summarising what mechanical engineering is and how it addresses the problems we as a society face day-to-day.
Dr Wojcik explains mechanical engineering as the interface between our world and the world of science, theory and maths. It's an opportunity to apply these concepts to make our world and our environment a better place to live in.
