This degree programme provides a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering principles and their applications, together with the skills needed to solve real mechanical engineering problems. You will benefit from our strong links with industry, with practising engineers contributing to lectures and providing employment opportunities.You will take courses in mechanical engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. This interdisciplinary approach also makes it easy to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so. You will study subjects including applicable mathematics, applied mechanics, fluid mechanics, microelectronics, engineering computing, materials, power electronics, thermodynamics, design and manufacture. You will study more advanced engineering subjects including dynamics and control fluid power engineering design fluid mechanics thermodynamics of engines heat transfer instrumentation and data systems materials and manufacture mathematical modelling and simulation and mechanics of materials and structures. In year 4 you will study advanced thermal engineering, control, lasers and electro-optic systems, materials engineering, mechanics of solids, robotics, vibration, renewable energy and design projects. In year 5 individual project work forms a major component of the MEng, which has a strong industrial bias. Further courses are chosen, including advanced control systems engineering and others. You will also undertake a management course.Recent graduates have been employed by: Babcock, Chevron, Wood Group, Spooner, Scottish Power Renewables, Jee Ltd, OyI Manufacturing, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce.
