This programme is designed to prepare students for careers as professional mechanical engineers with the focus on innovation, analysis and development within a wide range of advanced engineering technologies. The programme aims to develop a detailed knowledge of engineering concepts across all mechanical subject areas, so as to form a sound basis for complex problem solving and innovation in whatever area the engineer is employed. Advanced knowledge in certain areas will also be gained. A key feature of the programme is the exposure of students to real industrial problems, where leadership skills are developed through a team working approach.
The aims of the programme are:
- To develop graduates in mechanical engineering with the skills and attributes to take roles within industry as professional engineers
- To develop in students the ability to apply analytical skills in the solution of complex and unusual problems
- To equip students with an awareness of engineering in the wider ecconomic and social context.
