BEng Mechanical Engineering with Placement
About this course
BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Placement is an undergraduate mechanical engineering degree centred on design, materials, and manufacturing systems. Core topics include Engineering Design, Circuit Design, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The course incorporates a compulsory third-year industrial placement and a substantial independent final-year project. The first year covers foundational principles through Engineering Design, Integrated Engineering, Mathematics and Computing, and Principles of Materials and Manufacturing. The second year progresses to Applied Materials and Production Technologies, Digital Manufacture and Smart Technologies, Integrated Engineering 2, and Mathematics and Modelling. Following the third-year industrial placement, the final year includes Advanced Manufacturing Systems, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Advanced Instrumentation and Control, and Operations Management.
