**Overview**<br/>Engineering is all about the pursuit of solutions. Mechanical engineers play a vital role in the design and manufacture of almost anything with moving parts, from household appliances to renewable energy systems. This three-year course will foster your curiosity about how things work, refine your problem-solving skills and equip you for a rewarding career in a range of engineering sectors. <br/><br/>You’ll follow an integrated programme in your first year, building the knowledge, skills, and industrial connections you need to excel as an engineer. From Year Two, you’ll specialise in mechanical engineering, studying solid and fluid mechanics, control systems, and thermodynamics alongside design and manufacturing. You’ll spend your third year on an industrial placement before returning to UEA to complete your studies. <br/><br/>In your final year, you’ll work to a real-world industrial brief, using an interdisciplinary engineering approach. You’ll undertake visit the site, workshop designs, and write proposals for presentation to your client. Previous students have been offered employment based on their project work on this project. <br/><br/>As an engineering student at UEA you’ll have access to our industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and collaborative robots. You’ll also be able to demonstrate your knowledge and potential to industry professionals through events like our annual Select Partnership Scheme. <br/><br/>Studying mechanical engineering at UEA means you’ll graduate with a rounded skillset and a deep-rooted understanding of your chosen discipline. You’ll be equipped to enter a fulfilling career in engineering or to enhance your learning with further study. What’s more, our award-winning careers service will offer support throughout your course and for three years after graduation. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/>Course details are subject to change.
