What you will study

In your first year, you will be introduced to the principles of mechanical engineering and develop skills such as computer aided design (CAD). A major design project will combine knowledge gained in conceptual design, manufacturing and testing, and put it into practice. This module introduces you to the principles of mechanical design and communicating engineering design intent. You will acquire skills in drawing and Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing software package such as SolidWorks, and basic concepts of mechanical design and machine components. Modules include Mechanical Design, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Practice, Design Project, Energy Systems, Materials and Manufacture, Mechanics of Materials, Dynamics and Control, Engineering Systems, Manufacturing Engineering.

Career pathways

Project work in groups with other engineering specialists develops your teamwork, project management, presentation and communication skills, giving you hands-on experience that mirrors industry. You will showcase your individual project to potential employers at the final year project exhibition.
