Mechanical Engineering

BSc: 3 years ( 180 ECTS units ) Mechanical engineering transforms energy into motion. It is present in all mobility and transportation solutions, but also works with new materials, industrial management, energy production and the construction of infrastructure. It develops innovative technological solutions to support human well-being and competitive organizations. With the BSc in Mechanical Engineering, ISEP trains engineers capable of applying physics and materials science to analyse and solve design, implementation and maintenance problems of mechanical and thermal processes and products. Crossing technological and practical perspectives with an economic, environmental and sustainable outlook, the course transmits a solid comprehension of basic sciences (mathematics, physics, materials and technical design) and specific subjects of mechanical engineering, fluid and heat, industrial management and manufacturing materials and processes. The programme also includes soft skills and promotes practical work every semester in order to test students and support individual and team work abilities. In recent years, graduates presented studies concerning industrial production lines, heating and ventilation systems, cutting machines and telescopic conveyors for plastic parts, among other examples. Postgraduate Studies Graduate students can continue their specialization with the MSc in Mechanical Engineering .
