Course Overview

Mechanical engineering covers the design, development, and manufacture of mechanical objects €“ from large-scale industrial machinery to trains, planes, and automobiles to medical devices, mobile phones, bicycles, even chairs. Youll get a solid grounding in the core principles of engineering science including solid body mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science as well as in the fundamentals of design and manufacturing. Youll also get training in related disciplines integral to mechanical engineerings such as computing €“ used in modeling and predicting outcomes; electrical engineering €“ to gauge how much energy is needed to run a machine and how it can be generated and controlled, and electronics - because parts in many machines are electronic as well as mechanical. Our mechanical engineering BEng course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). We offer two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time with a one-year work placement between years two and three that will give you the chance to apply what youve learned to real-life situations.
