This course covers the design, development and manufacture of mechanical objects – from large-scale industrial machinery to trains, planes and automobiles to medical devices, mobile phones and millions of consumer goods. In fact, every product, technology or system has probably been touched by a mechanical engineer. The Brunel Mechanical Engineering BEng will give you the specialist knowledge and skills needed to get started on a lucrative career in this diverse and challenging profession. You’ll get a solid grounding in the core principles of engineering science including solid body mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science as well as in the fundamentals of design and manufacturing. You’ll also get training in related disciplines integral to mechanical engineering such as computing – used in modelling and predicting outcomes electrical engineering – to gage how much energy is needed to run a machine and how it can be generated and controlled and electronics - because parts in many machines are electronic as well as mechanical. And, as mechanical engineers not only design many exciting products but venture into managing projects and companies, you’ll study elements of management, ethics, finance and law. If you start on the full-time course, you can transfer to the professional development option at any time before the end of Level 2. In a global economy where progress depends heavily on technological innovation, graduates with the knowledge and skills to design, develop and improve the machines and processes fuelling growth are in demand. Your Brunel BEng will give you that expertise and help open doors to a career in engineering.
