Course summary
Understand the key aspects of mechanical engineering Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course develops your understanding of mechanical engineering science as well as your practical skills and knowledge through hands-on classes and multiple design-build-test challenges with your fellow students. Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) accreditation This course is accredited by the IET, one of the world’s leading professional societies for engineers and technicians. The accreditation means that it will be easier for you to apply for professional registration as a chartered or incorporated engineer after graduation. Learn the science behind mechanical engineering From manufacturing techniques to programming, you will develop a strong level of knowledge and understanding of a wide range of mechanical systems and applications you will need to prepare for a successful career in engineering and science. Study specialist areas including: Manufacturing techniques Machines Structures Materials science Heat transfer Fluid mechanics Programming Discover our specialist engineering laboratories Our dedicated engineering teaching and practice spaces allow you to use first-class, industry-standard equipment throughout your studies, as you gain a professionally-relevant and engaging engineering learning experience. Specialist mechanical labs Dedicated teaching labs Machine tool workshop Project workshop Computer-aided engineering suite. Develop the right skills to thrive within the industry This course has been designed in partnership with local businesses to ensure you are ready for the industry when you graduate and you will complete multiple design-build-test challenges that test your theoretical engineering understanding and practical skills in line with current industry standards. Gain vital industry experience with work placement opportunities We can support you in finding and applying for a suitable year-long work placement for between your second and third years of study, which gives you the opportunity to put your studies in practice, improve you CV, and develop your professional network ahead of your career within the industry. Apply your learning to practical projects The University of Chichester is a member of the unique CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) worldwide initiative, which means our courses are designed to be practical and lab-focused from the beginning. This ensures that you receive an engaging experience that encourages interdisciplinary teamworking to solve open-ended problems and develop your communication skills, which will help you stand-out in a competitive industry. On this course you will:
- Gain an in-depth understanding of mechanical engineering in line with industry requirements.
- Learn in dedicated engineering labs and use first-class equipment.
- Develop the skills and knowledge required to succeed in a rapid-evolving industry.
- Explore industrial work placement opportunities.
- Apply your theoretical learning and planning through practical, collaborative projects.
Modules
Year One: In your first year, you will explore the key fundamentals of mechanical engineering, as well as computer aided engineering, mathematical principles, and elements of electrical engineering. You will take part in a team Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) challenge with other Mechanical Engineering students. Year Two: Your second year builds on your previous learning to explore more specialised elements of mechanical engineering including dynamic systems, statics and materials, and advanced mathematical principles. CDIO challenge is an interdisciplinary team challenge where you will work with students from other engineering subjects. Year Three: In your third year, you will work as part of group to undertake a final engineering project that will act as a culmination of your studies Alongside this, you will explore industrially-relevant elements such as renewability and sustainability, as well as understand basic business concepts within a engineering contexts. You will work on an individual project and present your work technically to other engineers as well as to a non-technical audience.
Assessment method
You will be assessed through a range of assignments, including: -Coursework -Written exams -Lab and practical work -Project work -Presentations -Online tests
