Course summary

Manufacturing has increased in complexity in recent years, with the increasing importance of new materials and processes, as well as the need to manage extended, integrated supply chains and networks on a global level. This course has been updated accordingly, in response to this complexity, to enable students to successfully enter this environment. The Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering programme provides a thorough grounding in Mechanical Engineering and application of this knowledge to manufacturing technology and materials. You will also study contemporary computer-aided design and manufacture as well as relevant numerical tools. Through this course of study, you will learn about creating competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy, quality, and control and develop the skills to design manufacturing processes that result in products that meet specific material and other requirements. You will develop a systematic approach to projects, taking the logical and practical steps necessary to make often complex concepts become reality. You will also learn to be risk, cost and value-conscious, and aware of your ethical, social, cultural, environmental, health and safety, and wider professional responsibilities of the mechanical and manufacturing industry. Modern Manufacturing Engineering takes place in a highly competitive, rapidly changing marketplace and is very different from the traditional impressions of this sector. This course is available to study on a part-time basis. The following Bachelor’s degrees have been accredited as meeting the academic requirement, in part, for Chartered Engineer (CEng in Part) registration for the cohort intakes from 2015 up to, and including, 2023: BEng(Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (Full-Time 3 Years; Part-Time 4 Years; EngC ref 15962).
