Engineering is not just about technology. It is about people, companies, manufacturing and commerce.
Engineering decisions must normally be made within a commercial context and engineers are often found in senior management positions where they are required to be leaders and strategic planners, as well as problem-solvers and designers.
Combining engineering with management produces a lively, interesting and multidisciplinary degree, with excellent career prospects for graduates.
You emerge from this degree as a well-rounded graduate with not only a solid engineering training, but also a useful insight into the commercial world. This will equip you for a wide range of careers, including general management and sales, as well as jobs in more technical fields.
Please note that, subject to satisfactory performance, it is possible...

Course programme


This course aims to provide the mechanical engineers of the future with:
An education that covers the breadth of the subject
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
A high degree of competence in engineering design
A management-related degree that ensures they are particularly sought after by industry
You have opportunities to specialise in your third year
There is a common first year, and opportunity to transfer to the MEng course
Typically, you take lectures and tutorial classes in the mornings with laboratory classes on some afternoons. Active learning is included in some programmes through a range of small problem bachelorsed projects

This is complementary to the taught elements and is challenging and fun. Through the mix of learning from transitional lectures to team work and problem solving you will obtain: a thorough understanding of engineering science or construction through application of your knowledge; the ability to deal with the multi-disciplinary nature of modern engineering; a creative approach to problem solving; the self motivated approach required for success in university education; and the interpersonal and management skills needed when working in teams to fixed deadlines.
The methods of assessment vary widely to suit the nature of the course unit and the material being produced by the students. Examinations are held where appropriate but emphasis is placed on continuous assessment including reports, posters, presentations and vivas, especially during the first two years and for project work. Major pieces of course work are double marked and moderated by external examiners to maintain objectivity and uniformity in the assessment procedures. Examples of Coursework and Assessment
are available on individual Unit Specifications.
bachelorsic engineering knowledge and skills are taught in a core syllabus over all years of the course. View Year 1 Example course structure

We view design as an especially important activity, as it integrates the engineering topics across the degree course.
Year 3 also offers a range of options, so that you can select subjects to suit your individual needs, interests and career aspirations.
Options cover many theoretical and practical aspects of industrially relevant topics and include some of the latest developments in mechanical engineering.
The common first year provides the bachelorsic knowledge and skills that are applicable to all engineering, in a novel and challenging active learning environment. These include:
Communications

have to say.
The School offers a range of innovative degree courses in Aerospace Engineering that are supported by excellent computational and experimental facilities

All courses have been developed in consultation with industry.  This ensures that they cover the fundamentals, as well as the key aerospace disciplines that are relevant to graduate careers and cutting-edge research.
Particular strengths of a Manchester aerospace engineer are team-working, creativity and adaptability.  This stems from the breadth of education and the range of enquiry-bachelorsed learning that your receive.
Core degrees are the three-year bachelor and the four-year MEng in Aerospace Engineering.  There are MEng courses for students who wish to gain industrial experience or to study more management.  In addition, it is possible to spend one semester at a partner university elsewhere in the world.

Careers
Graduates are equipped to enter the globachelorl aerospace and defence industries, or continue on to postgraduate study.  The enormous range of career opportunities reflects the diverse and multidisciplinary nature of the aerospace sector.  Acquiring high levels of attainment in transferable skills such as simulation, problem solving, design, management and modelling enables graduates to adapt to new challenges and offers broad insight into engineering solutions. 

You can become a research engineer, discovering new ideas; a design engineer, with creativity and imagination; a construction or production engineer, making products or systems; or a project manager, controlling complex products and constructions.  The excitement is that you are unlikely to do the same thing day in and day out. Our graduates are increasingly sought after for positions in the business, management and financial arenas.  Further information
All our  Mechanical Engineering degrees are fully accredited
 - Chartered Engineer CEng is the highest professional qualification for engineers. It is recognised internationally and renders you eligible for the European Ingenieur (Eurling) qualification. The process to become a Chartered Engineer has three stages:
1. The Educational bachelorse (MEng, or bachelor with MSc)
2. Initial Professional Development
3. Professional Review

Graduates on this bachelor (Hons) course will therefore need further learning equivalent to masters level for Chartered status, via an approved or accredited MSc, transfer to an MEng course, or other further learning, such as part of a structured training programme in the workplace.
Students are encouraged to become members of the  Institution of Mechanical Engineers
