BSc (Hons) in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

About this course

This four-year BSc (Hons) in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering is taught by the Department of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at CINEC Campus. CINEC links the field to alternative energy, advances in materials science and new machine designs, and notes the role of a mechanical engineer in design, testing, production planning and management. The first two years cover engineering mathematics, drawing, materials, mechanics, thermodynamics, workshop practice, electronics and the dynamics of mechanical systems, along with automobile technology and strength of materials. Year three adds heat engines, finite element analysis, CAD/CAM, refrigeration and air-conditioning, machine design and control systems. The final year includes industrial instrumentation, maintenance and reliability engineering, production engineering, engineering innovation and enterprise, and a final-year project and dissertation. Electives include energy management, product realisation, condition monitoring and renewable energy systems.
