About the school
Formed in 2024 the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MAC) is based in the Sir Frederick Mappin Building. The school formed when the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Civil and Structural Engineering were integrated.
The new school is a powerhouse of research, learning and teaching looking to address some of the grand challenges that affect society and the world around us including sustainable transport, safeguarding our planet, digitalisation, improving the quality of life, the built environment and many more issues.
What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineers design and build machines of all sizes, from medical devices to airplanes, using physics, math, and materials science to make them work well, last long, and be produced efficiently.
