This course is well-balanced, covering a wide range of topics in engineering science and engineering practice. The course is designed to educate the next generation of mechanical engineers to have a positive impact on our society across the 21st century.<br/><br/>Our curriculum embeds a diverse set of professional engineering and management skills spanning four core areas:<br/><br/><br/>- design and manufacture<br/><br/><br/>- dynamics and control<br/><br/><br/>- materials<br/><br/><br/>- energy and fluid flow.<br/><br/><br/>All Mechanical Engineering students share a common curriculum in the first two years, covering the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. Teaching is delivered via lectures, seminars, laboratories, design classes and short projects in modelling and manufacturing.<br/><br/>In your third year, you will apply the principles you have learnt to real, complex engineering applications. A major element is the open-ended individual research project, which requires independent and creative thinking.
Some courses vary and have tailored teaching options, select a course option below.
