Mechanical Engineering is the basis for many of the engineering disciplines, including the automotive, aerospace, marine and medical sectors.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 BEng/MEng 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.Key Course Benefits
This course has a common first yearIn the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field.We want your degree to fit around you, so upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).Common first year courses:Automotive Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)Mechanical Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)Motorsport Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)ModulesMechanical Science – 20 creditsManufacturing Technology and Materials – 20 creditsEngineering Design – 20 creditsEngineering Application – 20 creditsEngineering Mathematics – 20 creditsElectrical and Electronic Engineering Principles – 20 creditsYear TwoIn your second year, you will extend and strengthen your technical knowledge across mechanical science as well as design, sustainability, and further mathematics. During this year you will be exposed to professional software that will enable you to design and analyse a product, process, and system in depth. You will also develop your knowledge across control engineering and instrumentation which is vital across numerous disciplines.ModulesDesign and Sustainability – 20 creditsSolid Mechanics and Dynamics – 20 creditsThermofluid Mechanics – 20 creditsAnalytical Modelling – 20 creditsEngineering Management – 20 creditsInstrumentation and Control – 20 creditsPlacement YearThere’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time, you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.Final YearFinal Year BEng students have the opportunity to create a more bespoke and highly specialised year by choosing an option module and final year individual and group project.Year three MEng students also undertake a similar set of modules as the BEng final year students, but with a deeper level of technical and hands-on mastery. You also have the opportunity to create a more bespoke and highly specialised year through an optional module.Additional YearDuring the final year of the MEng course, you have greater responsibility and adopt the working practices required by the profession to solve complex real world problems. This year becomes very bespoke depending on the direction of your specialism.We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated. Before accepting any offers, please check the website for the most up to date course content.
