Course Summary

**Please note that the information provided relates to the current academic year and is subject to change without notice by Sheffield Hallam University. Please check the Sheffield Hallam University website for the latest information.** **How you learn** All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. With online resources, high-quality laboratories and exceptional learning environments, you’ll be supported at every step. Our structured programme provides you with all the knowledge and skills you’ll need to carry out increasingly complex projects. As you progress, you’ll demonstrate your learning through regular assessment exercises. You’ll learn through - group work - an individual project - activity-based learning - presentations - posters - technical reports - in-class assessments - multiple choice questions - exams **Applied learning Work placements** During your studies, you’ll be encouraged to take advantage of our placement opportunities. We can help you arrange a year-long work placement between your second and third years – giving you tangible on-site experience and preparing you for your future engineering career. Previous students have been placed at reputable companies, such as Vodafone, GE Aviation, Reds10 Manufacturing and Worcester Bosch. **Live projects** As part of your course, you’ll undertake a large individual project, giving you the chance to align your studies with your own personal aspirations. Often students returning from placements continue their working relationships with a work-based project, helping them take the next steps towards their chosen vocation. In your final year, you’ll complete a major group project. This incorporates a wide range of technical skills and an important managerial aspect – a defining feature of engineering masters study. You can use these projects to work with industry, helping to solve current engineering challenges. **Networking opportunities** We have a number of student engineering societies you can get involved in. We also encourage you to become a member of a professional body, such as the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. They’ll help you with career planning, further your engineering know-how, provide resources and support you with scholarships and award applications. **Competitions** As part of the course, you could have the opportunity to take part in inspirational competitions such as the Engineering for People Design Challenge. Hosted by Engineers Without Borders, the project gives you a chance to work on real-world issues like water supply, energy, and transport. By doing so you’ll embed global responsibility into your education and learn to place people at the heart of your designs. Other industry-backed competitions that you could be involved in include the IMechE Formula Student and the IMechE Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge. Previously, both have seen students compete against teams from all over the world.
