About this course
BEng in Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering degree focused on the analysis and design of physical systems. Core topics include Programming, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Engineering Design, and Critical & Analytical Thinking. The programme incorporates project-based learning through activities such as designing and building the Exeter Formula Student car, and includes a core first year that covers foundational concepts across multiple disciplines. The first year establishes core knowledge through compulsory modules like Engineering Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Multi-Disciplinary Group Challenge Project, Fundamentals of Mechanics, and Fundamentals of Electronics. The second year advances technical capabilities with compulsory modules such as Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, Modelling of Engineering Systems, Solid Mechanics, and Control Engineering. Students also complete the Sustainable Design Challenge Project during their second year, which combines technical knowledge with creative skills.
