BEng Mechanical Engineering

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

You will be assigned a personal tutor on hand throughout your course to offer advice and support on personal matters, provide guidance on course choices and help you appraise your work.

For the course's course's practical aspects, you will work with a partner or as part of a small team in our well-equipped engineering labs. On your third-year project, you will work individually with an academic staff member.

Continuous assessment of your experimentation, computing, design, and project work will contribute about 30-50% of your overall mark, with the rest based on your performance in exams for each module. You will also be expected to give presentations about your work.

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience, and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people worldwide. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change.

Professional engineers have a high degree of specialist knowledge but increasingly use a broad approach to problem-solving across various engineering disciplines. This is coupled with an awareness of the environmental, social, legal, economic, and regulatory aspects of the problem.

Mechanical systems are at the core of the manufacturing, process, and service industries, including:

Advanced engines, traction,,, and braking systems for vehicles

Aircraft, satellites, and deep space probes

Biomedical technologies such as imagers, ventilators, and prosthetics

Air and water pollution control equipment

Transportation and mass transit systems

Industrial plant for the processing of raw materials and power generation
