universitas scientiae machinalis civilis
This is basically what Joseph wrote, but I think 'universitas' is still more common in modern Latin diplomas than 'academia'.

Joseph Brazauskas
: 'Stodiorum' should be 'studiorum' and 'aedilitiae' should be 'aediliciorum', but even with these corrections the phrase means 'university of aedilician studies', i.e., of what an aedile would have needed to know to discharge his magistracy.

academia civilis scientiae machinalis
Or 'universitas civilis scientiae machinalis', although 'universitas' in this sense has only Mediaeval authority.

At Nat. Hist. 7.37f. § 125 the Elder Pliny does discuss what we would call mechanics but the distinction between mechanics and engineering did not obtain among the Romans, the former being a branch of the latter. Cf. Vitruvius, 'de architectura' passim.
