Manufacturing Engineering including an Industrial Year

Course Summary

Are you interested in designing and making products that are smarter, faster and more sustainable? Our course provides you with the engineering knowledge and skills to improve manufacturing productivity by reducing costs and waste and ensuring that products and services are delivered to industry to cost and on time. You’ll have access to the latest manufacturing research facilities, including robotics and 3D printing techniques. You will also apply your knowledge in individual and group project settings that will also develop your business communication skills and are an invaluable experience for your future career development.

Course Details - Modules

The first two years provide a good grounding in the broad fundamentals of 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. The third year of this course is spent in industry. The final year features a major individual project in manufacturing engineering 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 the flexibility to tailor the course to your interests.
