Mechanical Engineering is concerned with the design, development and manufacture of equipment and products. As a profession, it is intertwined with every aspect of manufacturing industry such as research and development, design, manufacture, testing, marketing and technological development.
The 4-year programme in Mechanical Engineering provides the student with the necessary skills in theory and application of machinery, thermodynamics, manufacturing, management, CAD, product design and related courses. A major input of the programme is the emphasis on laboratory and computer aided product design. Graduates of this programme find employment in manufacturing industry, marketing, consulting firms and mechanical and electrical engineering construction company. Courses that have been offered are: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Materials, Strength of Materials, Mechanics of Machines, Manufacturing Technology, Heat Transfer, Engineering Control and Operational Research.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Mechanical engineers are employed in almost every sector of industry including aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, semiconductor, medicine, engineering construction, food processing, building and construction, manufacturing, energy and power, education and plantations and processes.

Faculty of Engineering Program Education Objectives (PEOs)
The Programme Education Objectives (PEOs) of the Faculty of Engineernig, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, has been STANDARDIZED into two PEOs, PEO1 and PEO2, for the five Engineering Programmes (Civil, Chemical, Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical) as described in the below.
PEO1: Professionalism
- Graduates of the programme should be able to attain professional recognition in their respective fields.
In the Mechanical Engineering Programme interpretation, “their respective fields” is translated as Mechanical Engineering or related fields. The qualitative measurement criteria for this PEO are attained by demonstrating sample that:
- Graduates should be a member of professional bodies related to Mechanical Engineering (BEM, IMM, IMECHE, etc.); OR
- Graduates could be promoted to the executive/managerial level or higher in their engineering career.
PEO2: Continuous Professional Development
- Graduates of the programme should continuously develop their professional and contemporary knowledge.
The “professional and contemporary knowledge” is referred to any knowledge that is directly or indirectly beneficial to their Mechanical Engineering career development. The attainment of this PEO shall be measured by showing sample of the graduate initiatives:
- Attend courses/seminar/workshop/conference/training that are relevant to their engineering career; OR
- Pursue specialization/training courses or certifications; OR
- Pursue further studies (MSc/MEng/PhD/MBA etc.)
