Course summary

This course will suit you if you want to develop your mathematical, physics and computational skills to tackle tomorrow's engineering issues. Through lectures, labs and tutorials, you'll build a solid understanding of the principles of solid mechanics, thermofluids and mechatronics. You'll also learn how to use technical drawings and specialist software to produce your own blueprints. Hands-on workshop sessions will develop your manufacturing skills, while you'll also hone your design expertise on a group project. You can broaden your learning further by taking modules from other engineering disciplines and applying mechanical engineering principles to their key challenges. At the end of the course, you'll complete a research project in an area of your interest. Throughout your studies, you'll develop the skills needed to undertake more advanced research, or pursue career opportunities in industries including the automotive and commercial sectors. All students should apply initially to MEng Mechanical Engineering. Students interested in one of the other courses within the Department should then apply to transfer at the appropriate time during the course (selection criteria may apply).
