Mechanical Engineering – (B.Eng.)

This degree will provide you with sufficient knowledge and skills to allow you to operate as a competent practitioners within the field of mechanical engineering. You will develop not only technical know-how but also a practical and analytical approach to problem-solving that will allow you to address a range of mechanical engineering challenges.

Within this context, the main aims of this degree are:

* to provide the opportunity for students to progressively acquire a thorough grounding in the concepts and skills of the central topics in mechanical engineering;
* to give you the skills and knowledge to deliver solutions to real engineering problems;
* to show you how engineering works in a business context, enabling you to achieve results within economic constraints;
* to become effective engineers and undertake lifelong learning particularly for continuing professional development.

This course gives an integrated knowledge of engineering that is currently appreciated by most engineering employers.

Additional course information
Core modules will provide you with a thorough understanding of many of the most important and central subjects in mechanical engineering today, from computer modelling to engineering materials. There is considerable focus on gaining practical experience, and lectures by visiting practising engineers will ensure you'll become familiar with current methods and approaches within industry.

When you graduate you will be able to:

* apply general engineering theory and scientific principles to find solutions to a wide range of practical problems
* demonstrate your ability to apply mathematical methods to model and analyse mechanical engineering problems
* display your competence with a range of test and measurement equipment
* apply creativity and appropriate computer based methods for solving mechanical engineering problems.

This degree is both academically rigorous and practically focused. It will also develop your analytical and problem-solving skills.
