Mechanical Engineers have a broad range of skills and therefore are involved in a number of industries ranging from Medical Devices to Agriculture. Some examples of the role of a mechanical engineer are;
- designing and developing machines and products that improve our quality of life,
- developing and processing materials in order to produce these products,
- automating and controlling manufacturing systems to make the production of these products more cost-effective and efficient,
- and considering environmental issues to ensure that we are not harming our planet.
This programme provides students with an introduction to the fundamental principles of Mechanical Engineering. Through working with our experienced lecturing staff, who strive to create learning experiences that are based around experimentation and physical engagement with our world class engineering resources, you will begin to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to fulfil the role of a mechanical engineer in industry.
What will I experience?
Whilst undertaking this programme you will;
- Visit local engineering companies to see what Mechanical Engineers do.
- Use cutting edge technology to understand the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering.
- Use SolidWorks, CNC machine tools and 3D printers to design and manufacture projects.
