About the course
Computational mechanics is a subdiscipline of mechanics that builds and solves complex mathematical models of physical phenomena using modern computing and intensive simulation. This specialisation extends engineering study with applications across areas such as renewable energy, biomechanics, sports engineering, defence, manufacturing and aerospace, with a focus on fluids, thermodynamics, and heat transfer within mechanical engineering at undergraduate level. The programme combines engineering fundamentals, design projects, and industry-ready technical problem-solving skills.
Career outcome
This specialisation strengthens simulation-led problem-solving skills used to model fluids, thermal systems and heat transfer processes. Graduates can apply these capabilities in engineering roles supporting analysis and design in sectors such as renewable energy, aerospace, manufacturing, defence, sports engineering and biomedical technologies. It complements an undergraduate mechanical engineering pathway by preparing you for computational analysis, modelling and simulation-focused work in engineering teams.
