Introduction

Mechanical engineers apply skills and knowledge in maths, science and software to design and manufacture innovative, efficient and reliable technology at an optimised cost. Mechanical engineers are at the forefront of sustainable solutions for a better world in the 21st century. Examples include the next generation of environmentally friendly materials (e.g. bio-based polymers) and devices for renewable energy sources (e.g. wind turbines). Mechanical engineers are involved in the design, manufacture and recyclability of most products: from mobile phones to medical devices to Formula 1 racing cars. This course develops the technical, personal, interpersonal and professional skills necessary in mechanical engineering. Mechanical Engineering Degree Highlights We put emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning, and invest heavily in our state-of-the-art facilities and flexible project spaces to support this activity. Global Opportunities The School offers extensive opportunities to gain valuable overseas experience, either during the summer vacation or by taking a year out from the degree programme. We participate in the IAESTE and Erasmus student exchange programmes, which enable students to obtain work experience in companies and universities throughout the world. In recent years students have worked in countries such as Brazil, Finland, the USA, France, Iceland, Argentina, Uruguay, Japan, South Africa and Portugal. The Study USA Initiative offers students after Stage 2 the possibility of studying for a year at a college in the USA, providing an excellent opportunity to gain familiarity with international business techniques. Our employability programme supports activities such as this, providing help and advice with the preparation of CVs, interview skills and providing a point of contact for the duration of placements. Professional Accreditations Both the BEng and MEng degrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Industry Links The School has strong links with both local engineering employers such as Spirit AeroSystems, Caterpillar, Sensata, and Collins Aerospace and international engineering employers such as Jaguar Land Rover, Lotus, McLaren F1, Michelin and Rolls Royce, Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK). The curriculum is heavily informed by industry representatives who sit on an advisory board within the School. Career Development Students have the opportunity to gain a place on the Engineering Leadership Programme and a range of Employability Development workshops. All of the Mechanical Engineering degrees come with the option of a sandwich year in the industry. You can spend up to 12 months getting hands-on experience in a real engineering environment with a relevant company. Students have gained work placements with organisations such as Airbus UK, Cummins Turbo Technologies, GlaxoSmithKline, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes Benz High-Performance Engines, Nacco Materials Handling Ltd, and Red Bull Technology Ltd. World-Class Facilities The School has a wide range of high-end workstations, experimental facilities and state of the art engineering CAD and analysis software to support aerodynamics, structures, materials and manufacturing design teaching. Internationally Renowned Experts The School has an international reputation for its contributions to the development of engineering education by playing a leading role in the Conceive, Design, Implement Operate (CDIO) initiative. All staff are internationally renowned experts in their field of research enabling students to learn about the state of the art developments in topics such as composites, simulation, renewable energy, biomaterials and manufacturing. The School has an international reputation for its contributions to the development of engineering education by playing a leading role in the CDIO initiative.
