BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers shape our daily life, from heating systems to refrigerators to cars. As automation and robotics expands into new industries, seize the career opportunities this offers by developing relevant skills and knowledge with a Mechanical Engineering degree.

Designed around real-world problem solving, the BEng pathway builds your knowledge base to an advanced level. Initially providing strong foundations in engineering materials, structures and systems, you will advance to study topics such as finite element analysis, engineering thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

With a focus on your future, you will also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry. There is also the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

You will:

• Develop an appreciation for project timings, resource allocation and the range of decision-making methods used by industry

• Study the relationships between microstructure and mechanical properties of materials, mechanisms of corrosion and corrosion protection

• Gain an understanding of the concepts of engineering thermodynamics and finite element analysis
