Course summary

Our MEng Mechanical Engineering course extends your technical understanding of engineering while developing the knowledge of business processes to become a professional engineering manager. You’ll learn the core skills offered by the BEng qualification and add a deeper level of technical knowledge for what is the highest award for undergraduate study in engineering. This course teaches you to use your initiative and take active responsibility in a series of case studies, practical and laboratory work and problem-solving projects. You’ll have the option to extend your study to five years by adding a one-year industrial placement between your second and third years. During your third year of study you’ll undertake a Team Project, and in your final year you’ll complete a dissertation on an industrially relevant topic. Throughout the course you’ll have regular contact with blue-chip companies and industry leaders in the sector who’ll host visits and work placements and provide regular guest speakers to UEL.

Modules

Year 1: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Principles (core) Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Technology (core) Engineering Mathematics and Fluid Mechanics (core) Engineering Practice and Introduction to Computer Aided Design (core) Year 2: Mechanics 1 and Mechanical Design (core) Dynamics and Control (core) Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics 2 (core) Project and Quality Management for Mechanical Engineers (core) Optional placement: This course offers the opportunity of year-long placement between years two and three. If you choose to take this option, you’ll spend your third year on a placement with a relevant company or organisation, adding valuable practical experience to your growing academic knowledge. The extra placement year means it will take four years to complete your studies, instead of three. Year 3: Group Project (core) Computer Modelling and Techniques (core) Thermodynamics 1 and Heat Transfer (core) CFD and Energy Technology (core) Year 4: Dissertation (core) Sustainability and Renewable Energy Sources (core) Advanced Materials and Finite Element Analysis (option) Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Processes (option) Automation and Robotics (option) Statistical Process Control and Engineering Management (option) Thermodynamics 2 (option) Advanced Computer Aided Design (option)

Assessment method

The way we assess you varies from module to module and meets UEL assessment criteria. It may include time-constrained assessments such as end-of-module exams or online tests, coursework, individual and group project work, laboratory reports and tests in theoretical and practical sessions.

Entry requirements

Qualification requirements

For detailed information on entry requirements for our courses, please see the individual course pages. We consider a range of UK and worldwide qualifications at the appropriate level and also take relevant work experience into account when considering an application. Many courses have a Foundation Year option for those students whose qualifications do not meet the BA or BSc entry requirements. Applicants should have, or be working towards, grade C in GCSE English and Mathematics (or equivalent Level 2 qualification such as Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Mathematics or Key Skills Level 2 in Application of Number and Communication) Entry requirements are intended only as a guide for applicants. They are not a guarantee of an offer, nor of the conditions that may apply. When making a decision on your academic suitability, we will make an assessment of you as an individual and will use information other than qualifications; which may include predicted grades, performance at Level 2, relevant work experience, previous study at degree level, personal statement, references and any portfolio, written test or interview, to make our decision. If you have any questions, please contact a member of our Applicant Relations Team from Monday to Friday (9am–5pm) on +44 (0) 20 8223 3333 or https://uel.ac.uk/about/contact-us
