Learn the fundamental skills and knowledge of a modern engineer. This course will provide you with the flexibility to be employed in any engineering company irrespective of their product range. Mechanical engineers are involved in producing innovative designs, using the latest materials and Computer Aided Engineering systems to meet ever-increasing expectations in 21st century living. The CDIO framework has been embedded into programme, ensuring you’ll put into practice what you learn through “Design and Build” projects during your studies.
The first year is foundation year, focus on Improvement of English language skills.
In your second year, you will study the fundamental skills and knowledge required by a modern engineer including principles of design and manufacture. In particular you will be introduced to computer packages commonly used in engineering. The modules include engineering mathematics, engineering applications of mathematics, materials and electrical science, mechanical science, introduction to manufacturing technology, introduction to design, and fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
In your third year, the core themes from year 2 are further developed so that they can be applied to solve engineering problems encountered in industrial and commercial environments. You will learn about the design process, through both group design and detail design work. The modules include thermofluid mechanics, further engineering mathematics, computer-aided engineering (CAE), structural mechanics, dynamics, data acquisition and control systems, integrated engineering system design and project management and product development.
In your final year, whilst adding to your knowledge of materials and structures, vibration and noise, and control systems, you have the option of covering either manufacturing or the rapidly growing field of micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS). Project work, both in teams on design and individually on a topic of special interest, encourages you to develop valuable practical, interpersonal and communication skills. The modules include mechanical engineering design, micro-engineering and micro-technology or manufacturing strategy, mechanics and properties of materials, control systems, thermofluid mechanics and heat transfer, vibration, noise and vehicle dynamics, and an individual major project.
