Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Telford

  • Duration

    4 Years

The Mechanical Engineering course provides for a comprehensive engineering education covering design, engineering mathematics and its application, the core concepts of mechanics, thermodynamics, structural dynamics, materials and the behaviour of fluids. As you progress through the course, you will also cover the principles of control systems, advanced materials and manufacturing processes including Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM)/ 3D-printing of plastics and metals. You will use computer aided modelling, design and analysis software to validate product designs. Analysing the performance of materials and structures under in-service conditions through the use of finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics is one highlight of the course. Accordingly, you will have the ability to use industry level FEA packages to analyse the performance of various engineering components.

About this course

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
· demonstrate creativity in the design and synthesis of mechanical engineering products systems, and processes, including electro-mechanical applications, and apply an innovative approach to their physical realisation

· effectively research unfamiliar subject areas in mechanical engineering and cognate disciplines, and thereby propose and evaluate a broad range of solutions to engineering problems

· select and apply appropriate mathematical methods to solve problems in the analysis and synthesis of engineering systems

· lead teams of engineers effectively and ethically, addressing the prominent engineering, social, environmental, and commercial issues

· select and apply appropriate software packages for design, analysis, and synthesis applications and critically evaluate the results

· relate theory and practice, thereby facilitating the efficient realisation of viable mechanical engineering products and processes

Course programme

All of our degrees have a common first year, allowing you to experience a range of subjects before deciding on the course you decide to proceed with. You will study Mathematics, and the underlying concepts of Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, and Production Engineering. You will undertake laboratory work; and utilise your new production knowledge to build and test a design.

In the second year you will extend your knowledge of Mechanical Engineering subjects including Control Systems, Thermodynamics and Fluids, Mechanics, Vibration and Stress Analysis. In addition, you will create design specifications, and become proficient in the use of a 3D CAD package. You will also learn the role and responsibilities of a professional engineer.

Following the second academic year, you are encouraged to undertake a placement in industry, improving your employment prospects and forming part of your professional development as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer.

In your third year you will complete an individual project, extend your specialist Mechanical Engineering knowledge, and learn how to convert an idea into a commercial venture.

In your final year you will study subjects including advanced Finite Element Analysis, and Rapid Manufacturing and Materials. You will apply these as part of a team engaged in a complex group project.
