University of Canterbury Mechanical Engineering Department

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is involved in teaching the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering degree programs. We have excellent facilities for both teaching and research in all three of these disciplines, and staff engaged in a wide range of research activities.

Modern mechanical engineering is interesting and diverse. It covers all manner of energy utilization with minimal pollution of the environment. It covers transport, machinery and manufacture and the efficient use of mechanisms without excessive vibrations and stresses. It covers materials and measurement and the research, economic, social and management dimensions that support its activity. All these aspects are coordinated through design and information technology. The result is an attractive diversity of the profession and a wide demand for its graduates.
