Mechanical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Mechanical Engineering is the most versatile of the engineering disciplines and there exists a high and growing demand from industry for graduate Mechanical Engineers.<br/><br/>Our accredited degree will place you at the heart of modern industry, providing career opportunities in sectors such as:<br/><br/><br/>- Aerospace, automotive and rail<br/><br/><br/>- Energy and power generation<br/><br/><br/>- Manufacturing engineering; product design, materials, production and processing.<br/><br/><br/>You’ll combine mechanics, materials science, thermofluids and computational methods to design, analyse and implement complex systems which are economic, reliable, efficient and sustainable.<br/><br/>Throughout the degree you’ll put theory into practice through a range of individual and group projects. For instance, year 1 will see you take part in three projects using your skills to design, build and test real mechanical devices. You will have the opportunity to participate in the Formula Student competition, working with other students to design and build a single-seater racing car.<br/><br/>On graduation you will be industry ready, with a grounding in engineering science and hands-on working knowledge of:<br/><br/><br/>- the core analytical and advanced scientific principles and methods underpinning mechanical engineering<br/><br/><br/>- applied prototyping and analysis for efficient computer-aided design and manufacturing;<br/><br/><br/>- integrated skills for complex engineered systems, including communication and project management skills, as well as advanced model based systems analysis tools and techniques.<br/><br/><br/>We encourage and support all our students towards a seamless transfer to our at the end of either the first or second year. The MEng programme comprises an extra fourth academic year that combines in-depth study with the integrative skills expected by industry, and provides the formal educational requirements for CEng registration.<br/><br/>**Our BEng in Mechanical Engineering received 91% overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2021**<br/><br/>**Professional accreditation**<br/>The programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.<br/><br/>The BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.
