Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering Level 8

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest, most broad-ranging and versatile engineering disciplines, covering all industry and many research sectors, including Power Generation, Aerospace, Engine Design, Pharmaceutical Processing, Biomedical Device Design, Renewable Energy Design, Transportation, and many more.

It’s all about using science, maths and technology to find better ways of making mechanical and electro-mechanical things work, such as designing electric vehicles to reduce pollution, designing enabling devices for people with a disability or improving the design of a wind turbine.

This course will give you the knowledge and competencies that you can apply in many fields of industry and research, including an excellent foundation in engineering science and maths, advanced design theory and practice, high-quality project work and practical workshop/laboratory hands-on skills.

On graduation, you will be able to identify and define a mechanical engineering challenge, formulate and analyse effective and sustainable solutions, and implement the best solution; design mechanical and mechanical-related systems, components and processes; and conduct advanced mechanical engineering research, involving the analysis and interpretation of research data, to attain useful empirical and scientific engineering knowledge.

You’ll be able to practice as a professional mechanical engineer on an individual basis, within team-based frameworks and as a contributor to multidisciplinary settings.
