Course programme
Introduction
This degree programme is designed to offer an advanced level of study in specific aspects of mechanical engineering that are in demand from industry. The degree comprises study in analysis and design of power machinery systems, engineering structures, vibration, control and the use of computers in advanced engineering analysis.
Degree Programme Structure
The first two academic terms consist of taught modules, followed by examinations just before Easter. The taught part of the course comprises 7 subject modules, 6 compulsory and one optional. These modules consist of lectures, seminars, tutorials and example classes. Each module is assessed by coursework submission alone or a combination of examination and coursework. Some include oral presentation of project/assignment work.
Individual Project
The second part of the programme, from Easter to September, is spent on an individual project under the supervision of a member of academic staff. The student normally selects the project from a list of projects proposed by the department's staff and in the majority of cases the work has some input from industry. In some cases students may suggest their own project topic provided a member of staff is willing to adopt and supervise that project. The output from good projects is regularly presented at conferences and published in journals.
