Course Overview

Whether you study for the BEng or the MEng, your Mechanical Engineering degree will emphasize how mechanical engineering has been transformed by the use of powerful computer-aided design, prototyping and manufacturing tools and by the use of modern materials such as composites.

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience, and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people throughout the world. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change.

Professional engineers have a high degree of specialist knowledge but increasingly they use a broad approach to problem-solving across a range of engineering disciplines. This is coupled with an awareness of environmental, social, legal, economic, and regulatory aspects of the problem at hand.

Mechanical systems are at the core of the manufacturing, process, and service industries including:

  • Advanced engines, traction and braking systems for vehicles
  • Aircraft, satellites, and deep space probes
  • Biomedical technologies such as imagers, ventilators, and prosthetics
  • Air and water pollution control equipment
  • Transportation and mass transit systems
  • Industrial plant for the processing of raw materials and for power generation

Successful engineers must be able to analyze and solve complex problems in the industrial context, communicate ideas to others and work effectively in teams and exercise leadership skills. This is why all our Engineering degrees include a selection of management content or specialized modules throughout. Topics covered include business finance, project planning, and management, intellectual property, health and safety, motivation theory, marketing, total quality management, ethics and professionalism.
