Course description
What will you study?
You will gain a broad understanding of the practical requirements of mechanical engineering, as well as a knowledge of the subjects that are both specific and complementary to mechanical engineering, such as e-engineering with internet applications, and the issues of green engineering and energy efficiency. You will develop the ability to resolve the broader problems that arise in mechanical engineering, and you will learn about management issues and improve your evaluation and project management skills.
The MSc features an Industrial Project Review and Analysis module, which is normally taken in industry and provides you with the challenge of undertaking a real-world problem in an engineering environment. You will also develop an awareness of work in a multidisciplinary team within an engineering organisation with real industrial constraints.
