The course aims to equip you to work as a mechanical engineer in a broad spectrum of mechanical engineering business activity in management, research, design and development roles.
You will study:
- Structural mechanics
- Control engineering
- Manufacturing processes and materials
- Energy management
- Project formulation
- Research methods
You will also study two optional units from:
- FE analysis
- CFD analysis
- Environmental management systems
- Project management
- Advanced techniques for design
A strong feature of the course is the individual project, which comprises a third of the course. We encourage students to undertake projects in industrial companies, but we can also use our extensive resources and staff skills to undertake projects within the University.
The course aims to:
-
Enable you to undertake an advanced treatment of core mechanical engineering disciplines, numerical modelling and simulation of engineering systems using FE and CFD analysis and appreciate the national and international environment in which you are likely to work
-
Enable you to develop your skills and abilities in both the use and underlying theory of state-of-the-art CAD and manufacturing processes, utilising our strong links with companies and the investigation of real industrial problems
-
Enable in-depth studies of applications using our research strengths and the Regional Centre for Manufacturing Industry
-
Give an overview of mechanical engineering management issues from a number of perspectives
-
Develop key skills such as working in groups, use of IT, independent learning, research methods and formulation of projects
-
Provide an advanced understanding of materials, processes and the operation of manufacturing systems
