Mechanical Engineering including an Integrated Study Abroad Year, MEng (Hons), with study abroad

This course invites ambitious individuals to advance engineering solutions for enhanced sustainability and efficiency in modern industry. It integrates initiative, numeracy, and specialized knowledge, with mechanical engineering influencing sectors like aerospace, manufacturing, renewable energy, and everyday innovations from vehicles to food processing. Students access advanced facilities, including robotics and 3D printing, and engage in individual and group projects. The program shares a common foundation with manufacturing engineering for the first two years, focusing on engineering science and design fundamentals such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and dynamics.In the third year, students may study abroad at the Malaysia campus or partner institutions, experiencing diverse cultures while undertaking group design projects. The four-year curriculum culminates in the fourth year with a major individual project, comprising a significant portion of studies.

The first two years provide a good grounding in the broad fundamentals of mechanical engineering science and engineering design. The science subjects studied include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics and electro-mechanical systems. In design, the emphasis is on project work and in both the first and second years, you will undertake a design, make and test project, which you will manufacture in the department's student workshop. During your third year you will study at either our Malaysia campus one of our partner institutions, where you will have the opportunity to experience differing cultures. Your year will be spent on a group design-and-make project. In year four, a major individual project makes up a third of your studies.
