Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering go hand in hand, but each is quite distinct. Mechanical engineering focuses on the efficient use of material, strength, structure, movement in the manufacture and operation of products and systems. Manufacturing engineering, meanwhile, concentrates on converting materials from one form to another, the processes and systems, ranging from basic assembly (e.g. inhalers) to high-tech manufacture (e.g. electric vehicles). With the two disciplines combined, this degree offers an impressive background in engineering.…
