Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) provides you with the skills and abilities to become a professional engineer; you will study design, development, installation, operation and maintenance of just about anything that has movable parts. This could be from massive structures like oil platforms, to large jet engines, and single valves. You will also gain a number of analytical skills which are both subject related and as well as at a professional level, ensuring that you leave with the confidence to face challenging engineering situations in modern industry. This course is dual accredited by the IET and Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council, and students who successfully graduate with this degree may, with the appropriate further learning, meet the academic requirement for registration as a chartered engineer.
100% of our Mechanical Engineering graduates from summer 2017 are in work or further study after graduating according to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) 2016-17 report. Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at DMU earned 98% student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2017, the second highest across all higher education institutes for this subject
