About this course

MEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering degree centred on the design and creation of systems, machines, and power generation. Core topics include Entrepreneurship. The curriculum aligns with United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and incorporates guidance from an Industrial Liaison Board. The first year focuses on general academic foundations. The second year covers core principles through Fluid mechanics, Structural mechanics, Dynamics, Material science, and Thermodynamics. The third year continues with Structural mechanics, Dynamics, and Thermofluids. The fourth and fifth years offer advanced study in areas such as Materials, including polymers and composite materials, Additive manufacture, Sustainable energy, Bioengineering, and Management, innovation and entrepreneurship.
