This program is grounded in core mechanical engineering principles while placing additional focus on the relationship between design and production, examined through both individual and collaborative projects. You'll undertake a comprehensive design project to synthesize various design techniques while gaining insight into the commercial and societal frameworks surrounding design work. The curriculum covers mechanical design and manufacturing, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics, and essential engineering competencies. This broad foundation also facilitates potential transitions to other engineering fields after the first year if desired. Coursework spans applied mathematics, mechanical systems, fluid dynamics, microelectronics, computational engineering, material science, power systems, thermal dynamics, and production design. Advanced topics include engineering design principles, dynamic systems control, structural mechanics, thermal transfer, manufacturing processes, material science applications, computational modeling, and structural analysis.
The student society organizes diverse events throughout the academic year, ranging from social gatherings to professional development opportunities. All engineering students are welcome to participate in these valuable experiences - whether seeking recreational activities with peers across disciplines or networking with industry professionals in an informal setting. These gatherings offer students meaningful breaks during demanding study periods while fostering community connections.
Our alumni have secured positions with leading organizations including: Babcock, Chevron, Wood Group, Spooner, Green Co. Mineral Water, Scottish Power Renewables, Jee Ltd, OyI Manufacturing, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and Score Europe.
