Mechanical Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Engineering focuses on innovative problem-solving, with mechanical engineers essential to designing and manufacturing items featuring moving parts, such as household appliances and renewable energy systems. This three-year course at UEA nurtures curiosity, hones problem-solving abilities, and prepares students for diverse engineering careers. In the first year, an integrated program builds foundational knowledge, skills, and industry links. From the second year, students specialize in mechanical engineering, covering solid and fluid mechanics, control systems, thermodynamics, design, and manufacturing, culminating in a major individual project that may involve industry collaboration or research ties.The program emphasizes practical development through access to state-of-the-art facilities at Productivity East, including CAD stations, 3D printers, and collaborative robots. Students can showcase their expertise at events like the annual Select Partnership Scheme. Graduates emerge with a comprehensive skill set, ready for rewarding engineering roles or advanced studies, supported by UEA's award-winning careers service throughout the course and for three years post-graduation.
