Do you want to push the boundaries of engineering to solve complex problems to improve the sustainability and efficiency of the world we live in? This course will give you opportunity to combine your initiative, numeracy skills and detailed subject knowledge to make modern industry work better for us all.
Mechanical engineering plays a vital role in many industries including aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, renewable energy and Formula 1. In fact, there is little in our daily lives that isn’t touched by mechanical engineering innovations, from the cars we drive to the way our food is processed.
As well as taught sessions, you’ll have access excellent manufacturing research facilities, including robotics and 3D printing techniques. You will also apply your knowledge in individual and group project settings.
Mechanical and manufacturing engineering share a common programme for the first two years, where you will learn the fundamentals of engineering science and design. In the third and fourth years you will specialise in manufacturing engineering options.
This four-year course covers all the essential engineering skills that top global companies are looking for in graduates and will help you work towards becoming a chartered engineer.
Course Details - Modules
You will share the same first year across the department - developing knowledge of the engineering fundamentals, science and design.
Throughout the course you will learn all about 3D printing, design, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, vibration, control and automation.
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.
Year three features a major group design and make project over the full year, making up a third of your studies. In addition to compulsory manufacturing modules, you will study a range of optional modules in manufacturing, operations management and human factors. This provides you with flexibility to tailor the course to your interests.
Year four features a major individual project in manufacturing engineering over the full year, making up a third of your studies. You will also study compulsory modules in advanced engineering topics along with a range of optional modules, allowing further specialisation.
