MEng Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Management
ObjectivesThis course responds to the emerging culture of enterprise in industry and aims to produce not only high calibre mechanical engineers, but also potential entrepreneurs with strategic vision, leadership and innovation qualities. Throughout the four years of the course you will study industrial management alongside mechanical engineering. During the first two and a half years you will follow a core syllabus aimed at developing the essential skills and knowledge in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, industrial management and mathematics required of a professional mechanical engineer. These are integrated through laboratory sessions, design projects, group work and tutorials. A special feature of the course is that during the final one and a half years you can choose from a wide range of advanced modules, in addition to further industrial management modules. This enables you to follow the areas of your interest and to prepare for your initial career. In year three there is a group industrial management project and during year four you will undertake a major industrial management related individual project. There is a degree of flexibility to change between our courses by the end of the first year, by agreement with the Department. This four-year course is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and meets the latest requirements for entry to the profession as a Chartered Engineer. Full Chartered Engineer (CEng) status will require appropriate experience working as a graduate engineer.
