Mechanical engineering deals with the design, manufacture
and maintenance of machine components and systems from small
domestic products to highly complex vehicle and aerospace systems.
Mechanical engineers need to respond to a changing world dominated
by advances in technology. Their combination of broad engineering
knowledge and detailed expertise in specialist fields enables them
to harness these changes and take leadership roles in multi-disciplinary
engineering teams.
The Mechanical Engineering course aims to:
Develop skills in the design, development and testing of mechanical products and systems.
Provide a thorough grounding in the engineering, physical and mathematical sciences.
Develop an appreciation of the management of engineering activities.
Enhance the learning experience through Industry-Based Learning and large-scale final year projects such as the Formula SAE project.
Develop the ability to undertake life-long professional learning.
Develop an awareness of the professional responsibility for a sustainable environement.
