Course summary
Sheffield Hallam University validates the 1-year BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree course. It provides students with the opportunity to develop and enhance their knowledge and practical skills required to pursue a career in their chosen engineering discipline within the industry. Our approach offers a combination of online/ distance learning for independent engineering project supervision (industrial project) and a weekly day attendance for the more rigorous academic topics, ideal for those balancing their studies alongside professional and personal commitments. The program complies with the Institution of Engineering and Technology awarding body’s accreditation criteria. Thus, provides the students with an all-around knowledge of the subject and an improved opportunity to develop towards charted status and future career development. The course emphasizes the application of cutting-edge topics such as advanced mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, and advanced engineering modelling techniques to real-world problems, incorporating sustainable, environmental, and ethical implications, equipping students with the ability to design, analyse, and implement either electrical and electronic, mechanical, or manufacturing solutions to complex problems. Additionally, students explore emerging technologies and industrial trends, ensuring they are well-prepared to adapt to the rapidly evolving technologies within engineering. With many practical and hands-on learning experiences, incorporated within the academic delivery, including experimental and advanced software analysis systems, involving laboratory equipment: -
- Control systems equipment and controllers
