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.
