Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering – (B.Eng.)

Over the past decade, computers have revolutionised the practice of mechanical engineering and have become an essential tool in all of its key areas.

This innovative programme has been designed in collaboration with the industry to produce highly skilled engineers with awareness of the practical issues involved in the design, specification and manufacture of mechanical systems.

Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering is a blend of mechanical engineering, computer technology and systems design engineering.

It allows engineers to test new products or systems without having to build expensive prototypes. Essentially a form of "virtual engineering", the engineer can design and analyse a product or system using computers to stimulate real stresses that may be placed upon it.

Using standard industry software such as 'Pro Engineer' and 'Ansys', you will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering - design, control materials and manufacturing methods - and learn how to provide solutions to complex engineering problems. The programme is therefore particularly suited to numerate individuals.

All of GCU's engineering programmes are accredited by UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) and the University has excellent links with industry, providing access to case studies, projects and work experience.

Graduates from this programme have found success in a variety of local, national and international industries and consultancies, such as mechanical, aerospace, electronic, offshore, local authority, manufacturing and building services.
