Introduction
A Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering is an undergraduate program that equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It covers a broad range of disciplines, including physics, mathematics, materials science, thermodynamics, and computer-aided design (CAD).
This degree prepares you to solve real-world engineering problems and apply innovative solutions across various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. At UFV, you will receive a well-rounded education that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
At UFV, we believe in preparing you to become a leader in the field of mechanical engineering. Our program is designed to go beyond technical knowledge, offering you a comprehensive education that develops your analytical, creative, and leadership skills.
By joining us, you will:
- Study in an international environment with courses taught entirely in English.
- Gain practical experience through internships and real-world projects.
- Collaborate with leading companies in the engineering sector.
- Develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation skills.
- Be mentored by highly experienced professors and industry professionals.
Why is UFV the best place to study Mechanical Engineering?
- Your training will be 100% practical. From the first day, you will carry out real projects with large companies, test combustion engines, design with Catia and Solid Works, analyze wind tunnel aerodynamics and program industrial robots.
- You will be able to carry out professional internships in companies such as Talgo, Solid Works, MatLab, Universal Robots, EY, Siemens, Grupo Antolin, etc. In addition, if you want to start your own business, you will have the opportunity to do so at the Entrepreneurship Center.
- Only at the UFV will you study at the best high-tech and competition center in Europe, the Motor & Sport Institute, the ideal place to learn about the latest generation of cars, robots, engines, 3D printers, etc.
- If you want to complete your education, you can obtain a University Degree in Industrial Systems Engineering with a specialization in Automotive Engineering in just one more year, in bilingual mode or in Spanish.
- You will visit companies and factories to discover how the technological revolution is changing the way mechanical systems are designed and manufactured, and you will also attend conferences with drivers, mechanics and experts on the latest industry trends.
- And the best part! You will have an unforgettable university experience. You will be able to prototype projects with 3D printers or CNC machines in Makers UFV, join sports teams, volunteer, go on missions and participate in hundreds of days and activities.
You will be trained in the best high-tech center in Europe among robots and virtual reality
You will study at the Motor & Sport Institute, the only center in the world with more than 12,000 m2 focused on technology and innovation, which has the latest means to make you an excellent engineer. You will study among robots, virtual reality, state-of-the-art cars, electric vehicles, 3D printers, wind tunnels, engine laboratories, etc.
You will transform the world through your projects
Mechanical engineers work to solve human needs. They design machinery to eliminate physical strain and promote economic development or create safer vehicles to prevent accidents. As your profession focuses on people, it is essential that you take subjects in ethics and humanities to develop your ability to think critically and understand the meaning of your profession.
