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.
