    About

    Course overview

    In our ever-changing world, mechanical engineers develop new and differing uses for technologies and materials to improve the mechanical operation of equipment and devices used in anything from food and oil production to international construction projects or the design of toys.

    • The MEng/BEng (Hons) degree in Mechanical Engineering aims to produce mechanical engineering graduates with the versatility and depth of understanding to deal with new and unusual challenges in mechanical engineering, alongside the necessary imagination and creativity to innovate.
    • It is designed to give graduates the opportunity to equip themselves with relevant, up-to-date skills and knowledge necessary to work as a mechanical engineer in a broad variety of businesses, including engineering management, research, engineering design, development and consultancy.

    The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘How you’ll learn’ section below for more details.

    Why you should study this course

    • Opportunity to participate in field trips abroad, which have previously included trips to Poland, Bulgaria, China, Belgium and the USA2.
    • Dedicated industrial placement tutor (subject to availability), who can help you with your applications for placements and support you if you choose to spend a year in industry. Previous placements have included roles at Microsoft, Leonardo, Severn Trent, National Rail, Aston Martin Lagonda, Babcock International Group, Cummins, GE-Aviation and GKN2.
    • Access to modern facilities in our High Performance Engineering Centre, which houses a 20% scale model wind tunnel, composites lab, metrology lab, four-post shaker rig, Thermofluids and Renewable Energy lab, AVL engine test cell, automotive workshop, fatigue and tensile testing (Instron), a full size Harrier Jet, three further simulators (carbon fiber, metal and standard ABS and PLA) , civil engineering specialist testing equipment, a range of CNC machinery and a laser workshop4.

    If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.

    Career

    Careers and opportunities

    Once you successfully complete the course you should be able to:

    BEng and MEng Mechanical Engineering

    • apply the necessary study and research skills to support the analytical, critical and reflective requirements of written, oral and group assessments
    • contribute to a team with the necessary planning, reviewing, adaptability, drive and leadership to achieve the required objectives and observe work schedules
    • clearly communicate research, concepts, solutions, and recommendations, and demonstrate an approach to written and oral presentations appropriate to an engineering professional
    • demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles, theories and practices found in engineering management and leadership, consultancy, and entrepreneurship
    • develop independent learning and problem-solving skills appropriate to current and future study and employment
    • apply engineering principles, science, mathematics, processes, materials, design, and management to solve problems of increasing complexity
    • apply engineering analysis methods when solving complex problems and develop extended experience in solving problems related to a broad range of mechanical systems and components
    • generate, and appropriately communicate, design solutions through the application and comprehensive understanding of the engineering design processes
    • critically assess data and information using practical laboratory skills, experimentation, and research, and establish the effect on design
    • understand risk assessment and the need for professional and ethical conduct in commercial and social contexts, informed by a knowledge of sustainable development and the regulations/legislation governing engineering activities
    • understand and evaluate a range of appropriate engineering materials, components, and systems, identifying their limitations and likely developments.

    MEng Mechanical Engineering

    • apply a comprehensive understanding of mechanical engineering principles together with a critical awareness of current issues at the forefront of the specialism
    • apply and evaluate engineering analysis methods when solving complex problems and assess their limitations, especially when applied to new or unfamiliar technology
    • generate and appraise innovative design solutions through the application and comprehensive understanding of the engineering design processes
    • critically assess data and information that may be uncertain or incomplete and quantify the effect on design using practical laboratory skills and experimental research
    • critically appraise management, business and ethical practice and their limitations informed by a knowledge of sustainable development, customer requirements and the regulations/legislation governing engineering activities in a commercial, social and international setting
