Mechanical Engineering

Overview

The Mechanical Engineering programme of University of Liège aims to be both general and highly focused on production. It also meets an important need on the part of industry in the area of studies and production methods.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the programme, Mechanical Engineers are able to:

• draw up specifications for a specific equipment need;

• apply their knowledge of physics, mechanics, materials science, heat transfer and thermodynamics to the study of a mechanical system;

• use computer-aided drafting, design and manufacturing tools;

• model the static, vibrating, cinematic, dynamic and thermal behaviour of a device;

• master and apply digital methods that are used in simulation software;

• handle manufacturing technologies and understand the physical phenomena that characterise them;

• implement machine automation, actuation and instrumentation techniques and industrial processes;

• understand state-of-the-art mechanical technologies such as micro-technologies or precision manufacturing technologies;

• design a mechanical component, including choosing the materials, geometric design, cost calculation and dimensioning;

• design a machine, a mechatronic system, a production unit or line;

• define a product line;

• analyse the functioning of a production system;

• manage a project and ensure its profitability.
