About this course

Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering degree focused on technical analysis and design principles. Core topics include Control Systems, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This four-year program supports progression toward Chartered Engineer status through structured academic study and practical project work. The first year covers foundational principles through Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Engineering Materials, Engineering Mathematics 1, and Fluid Mechanics and Energy Transfer. The second year progresses with Engineering Mathematics 2, Integrated Design Project 2, Mechanical Design A, and Mechanics 2. Third-year studies involve CFD and FEA (Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis), Engineering Mathematics 3, Integrated Design Project 3 (MEng), and Mechanical Design B. The final year centers around an Individual Engineering Project (MEng) alongside advanced options such as Advanced Manufacturing, Advanced Mechanics, and Artificial Intelligence for Engineers.
