**This degree is professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council. As well as your main Imperial degree (MEng), you will also receive the award of the Associateship of the City and Guilds of London Institute (ACGI) on completion of this course.**
All of our Mechanical Engineering courses start with the same two core years of intensive engineering science. You attend lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions in areas including:
- thermofluids
- materials
- mechanics
- mechatronics
- stress analysis
- design
You practise sketching by hand, use computeraided design (CAD) to produce solid models and industry-standard technical drawings, and create the blueprints for your own designs. You also develop your manufacturing skills in hands-on workshop sessions, and bring your designs to life through a ‘design, make and test’ group project.
Years three and four mostly comprise elective study and project work. The elective technical modules cover some of our key research areas such as tribology and combustion, as well as solid mechanics, thermofluids, robotics and nuclear energy. The non-technical modules can be as diverse as design, art and creativity, or business economics (delivered online by Imperial College Business School). In the fourth year, you can also choose modules taught in other engineering departments, such as:
- fluid dynamics (Aeronautics)
- advanced biomaterials (Materials)
- computer assistive and rehabilitative devices (Bioengineering)
- sustainable electrical systems (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
The last two years of the course involve substantial group and individual project work, with freedom to choose topics proposed by staff based on their cutting edge research or even pitch your own ideas. You can also study a language or a humanities subject through Imperial Horizons.
