BEng Mechanical Engineering
Course Overview
BEng Mechanical Engineering
BEng Mechanical Engineering is the basis for many of the engineering disciplines, including the automotive, aero, marine, and medical sectors. In our ever-changing world, mechanical engineers develop new and differing uses for technologies and materials that improve the mechanical operation of equipment and devices used in anything from food to oil production or from international construction projects to the design of toys.
BEng Mechanical Engineering will provide you with the opportunity to develop essential knowledge and skills in science, commerce, design, manufacturing, and management to help prepare you for a career across a broad range of industries, with, for example, a major equipment manufacturer, a design consultancy or a supply-chain company.
Design
The innovative resolution of design problems focused on commercially viable solutions, consideration of sustainable material selection and optimizing manufacturing techniques.
Analysis
The investigation and manipulation of variables and principles that determine the behavior of products and systems utilizing industry standard engineering software.
Management
The application of principles and practices utilized to ensure effective business structure, planning and operation.
Sustainability
An ethical approach to engineering design and manufacture with the focus of improving and protecting the best interests of life and the environment.
Practical
Investigation, analysis and practical skills development using laboratory, workshop and computer-based techniques.
Course Information
BEng Mechanical Engineering
As the course progresses, your learning will become more specialised, for example, examining instrumentation and control in Year Three, then thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in Year Four. You will also be able to tailor your course to suit your interests and career aspirations, choosing from a range of optional modules in subjects like finite element analysis or control systems engineering.
We aim to produce 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.
