About this course
BEng Hons in Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering degree focusing on the analysis, design, and practical implementation of mechanical systems and machinery. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Entrepreneurship. The first year is shared across all engineering programmes, providing a broad foundational curriculum before specialisation begins in the second year. The first year introduces foundational principles through Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. Year 2 advances the discipline with core study in Control and Robotics, Engineering Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Mass Transfer, Machine Design, and Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. The final year focuses on advanced applications and includes Computer Aided Engineering, Dynamic Systems, Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, and Product Design. Students also complete an extensive Individual Project to investigate a chosen engineering topic in depth.
