BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering at University of Cumbria

In your first year, you’ll focus on becoming an independent learner while building a strong foundation in engineering principles, mathematics, and design. You’ll learn to create and test engineering artefacts, explore materials and manufacturing processes, and gain essential knowledge of electrical and mechanical mechatronic principles. In your second year, you’ll tackle more broadly defined challenges that require integrating knowledge from across your studies.
