At this programme at you will learn how Mechanical engineers work at the cutting edge of modern technology, in areas such as robotics, automation, materials, stress analysis, fluid mechanics and design optimisation.Ê
Working in the newly-created Design Centre, you will not only receive training on the latest industry-standard design and solid modelling software, and computer-numerical-control (CNC) machine tooling Ð but also in the sensors, actuators and advanced control systems which drive all modern products of mechanical engineering.
Through your project work, you may choose to use our internationally-recognised materials characterisation facilities, taking advantage of our partnership with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). Equally, you might decide to explore the cross-disciplinary aspect of mechanical engineering, applying your skills in areas ranging from prosthetics to satellites.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng (Masters of Engineering). The MEng builds on the BEng programme with a masters year, and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies.
