Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Mechanical Engineering

175 years pioneering in the development of engineering education, the first Mechanical Engineering Department in England and the first in the world to introduce laboratories in engineering education – welcome to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical Engineering as a distinct discipline in the UK was established right here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê in 1847. Today, our students are taught core engineering disciplines and supervised in individual and group research projects by academics, many of whom are recognised research world-leaders in their fields.

How does Engineering allow us to see our bodies in microscale?

Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) allows us to see inside whole human organs down to the cellular level.

This new technique was co-developed by Professor Peter Lee and Dr Claire Walsh of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Mechanical Engineering, alongside colleagues from ESRF and with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is being used in a variety of ways including helping us to understand the causes of long COVID.
