- Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the advanced design and analysis techniques, the use of modern materials and manufacturing technology. They will expand their knowledge in a wide range of mechanical engineering areas and related fields, giving them the scope to be creative and scientific in equal measure.
- This course will equip them with transferrable skills, including IT and management as well as data analysis. As a result, they will be highly employable in the mechanical engineering marketplace, with a choice of different careers available to them.
- The facilities include a CAD/CAM center, industrial-scale CNC milling machine, CNC lathe, rapid prototyping machine, scanning electronic microscope, Instron bi-axial fatigue-testing machine, tensile testing machine, material-preparation facilities, welding equipment, and electronic testing and measuring equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal to generate and testing facilities.
- Students completing an IMechE accredited degree are deemed to have met, part or all, of the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer and are in a strong position to move on to achieve professional engineering status after a period of initial professional development in the industry. The MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng(Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.
- It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc program who do not also have an appropriately accredited Honours degree will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council; they will need to have their first qualification individually assessed through the Individual Case Procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
