Course Summary

Continual growth in computer speed and visualisation techniques has led to remarkable improvements in engineering simulations. Simulation software can predict how designs will work in practice, leading to reduced waste and improved outcomes. As such, multidisciplinary engineers with these specialist computational skills are in increasingly high demand. City's broad BEng (Hons) Engineering course is ideal for students with a strong grounding in Mathematics and Science who wish to develop their capabilities in logic and problem-solving. The interdisciplinary nature of the degree course means a wide variety of career paths will be available to graduates. Our current engineering degrees are all accredited by the relevant professional institutions, providing a path for graduates to gain Chartered Engineer status. We have every expectation that this new degree will similarly receive full institutional accreditation. The continual growth in computer speed, storage capabilities and visualization techniques, together with greater levels of understanding of the physics that explains our world, has led to remarkable improvements in the fidelity of engineering simulations. This degree responds to the demand for engineers enthused by tackling cross-disciplinary challenges, in particular through the development of advanced engineering software (using high-performance computers) and use of digital manufacturing. This degree responds to the demand for engineers who can tackle engineering challenges by using advanced software, high-performance computers and digital manufacturing. You will develop a broad engineering skill set, alongside specialist knowledge of areas that rely on advanced computational analysis, such as Finite Element analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics. Your multidisciplinary engineering expertise and practical experience will open doors in a diverse range of sectors, from biomedical manufacturing to automotive engineering, aerospace and infrastructure. - Become proficient with analytical, computational, CAD and experimental techniques to solve engineering problems - Learn from research-active academics at the cutting-edge of the discipline - Study in specialist facilities including our flight deck, motion simulators, wind tunnels, optical compressors, formula car simulator and more - Boost your employability with an optional work placement - past hosts have included BMW, the Home Office, Airbus and British Airways - Benefit from our industry connections and outstanding reputation from 120 years of engineering teaching. Our engineering degrees are all accredited by the relevant professional institutions. We have every expectation that this degree will similarly receive full accreditation .You can undertake a summer internship at the end of each academic year or opt to spend a year on an industry placement at the end of your third year - if you are on the MEng (Hons) route. Placements are paid, and are a fantastic way to gain professional experience in a relevant field as part of your degree. Undertaking a placement year could also count towards the experience requirement for a professional engineering qualification. In recent years students from our engineering courses have been able to obtain placements at leading companies within their chosen field such as BMW, the Home Office, Ghana Energy Commission, Airbus and British Airways. Numerate engineering graduates who exhibit strong logical skills, curiosity and an ability to perform at the highest technical level are much sought after by industry. This broad engineering degree will develop your capabilities in not just problem-solving, but problem-seeking. Graduates will have the potential to work within interdisciplinary teams on a wide range of advanced engineering technologies spanning from the design of space probes or aeroengines, F1 aerodynamics, oil and gas recovery, to tether-free walking robots and the design of artificial human heart valves.
