Programme
Years one and two
The first two years provide a good grounding in the broad fundamentals of mechanical engineering science and engineering design. The science subjects studied include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics and electro-mechanical systems. In design, the emphasis is on project work and in both first and second year, you will undertake a design, make and test project, which you will manufacture in the School's student workshop.
Year three
A major individual project makes up a quarter of your studies. This may involve computational and or experimental investigations often related to research activities within the School. You will also study a mix of compulsory and optional modules, the latter allowing you to tailor the course to your interests.
