Course summary

The programme is well balanced, covering a wide range of topics in engineering science and engineering practice. Our curriculum embeds a diverse set of professional engineering and management skills spanning four core thematic areas:

  • design and manufacture
  • dynamics and control
  • materials
  • thermofluids.
Years one and two are common to all mechanical engineering students and cover the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. Teaching is via lectures, laboratories, design classes and short projects in modelling and manufacturing. In your third year you will apply the principles learned to real, complex engineering applications. A major element is the open-ended individual research project, which requires independent and creative thinking. In the fourth year you will select from a range of specialist options and undertake a substantial group project to address an open-ended technical challenge.
