Mechanical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Mechanical engineering combines a range of technical, creative, and management skills. It plays an important role in a range of sectors including aerospace, energy management, and surgical innovation.<br/><br/>This degree focuses on mechatronics - the integration of electrical and mechanical components. This means youll learn to design and manufacture modern, high-performance products across a range of industries.<br/><br/>Youll also learn about microcontroller programming, software for computer-aided design (CAD), and how to implement engineering solutions with economic constraints. For example, youll take part in an engineering design project where youll design and manufacture a prototype. <br/><br/>Youll have the opportunity to get involved in practical and industrial-led projects. Youll use the knowledge and skills gained throughout your studies to present solutions to industry experts.<br/><br/>We are the only Scottish university taking part in the CMS Collaboration, a major experiment at the Large Hadron Collider CERN. Our students have had the opportunity to visit the site during their studies. <br/><br/>You could also join our DRIVE racing team. Each year, they design, build, seek sponsorship for and race a single-seat, rear-engine racing car as part of the global iMechE Formula Student competition at Silverstone.
