BEng Mechanical Engineering (With Integrated Foundation Year and Year in Industry)
About this course
The BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (With Integrated Foundation Year and Year in Industry) is an undergraduate mechanical engineering degree spanning five years. Core topics include Circuit Design, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme includes an integrated foundation year followed by a year-long industrial placement. The first year covers foundation principles through modules such as Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, Foundation Engineering Principles, and Foundation Engineering Design. The second year introduces core concepts via Engineering Design, Mathematics and Computing, and Thermofluids. The third year advances into Applied Materials and Production Technologies, Robotic Engineering, and Solid Mechanics. The fourth year consists of a placement module titled Year in Industry. The final year concludes with Advanced Manufacturing Systems, Advanced Instrumentation and Control, and an Integrated Engineering Project.
