Course summary

Mechanical Engineering is central to our world, from transportation systems to the design of medical scanners, through to multi-billion pound facilities that probe the fundamentals of the universe. Mechanical Engineering applies scientific knowledge to design and build functional systems. Studying Mechanical Engineering BEng. (Hons) at Chichester will give you the scientific foundations, practical skills and techniques to enable you to make a constructive contribution to the world, by designing, building and using mechanical systems. Because Mechanical Engineering is an applied subject, our course is based around applied workshop learning; seminars with demonstrations; practical and lab work and design-build challenges. We don’t do Lectures! The integrated foundation year leads to a range of diverse degrees, it covers broad topics including: physics, mathematics, electronics and computing, and the practical application of these to engineering disciplines through design-build-test challenges. These practical CDIO (conceive-design-implement-operate) tasks offer students an opportunity to work in groups to combine their skills and solve real engineering problems.
