You'll begin the course by learning about professional practical engineering and you'll study engineering design and engineering science. As you progress through the degree, you'll explore mechanical engineering in more depth studying modules such as dynamics of solid materials and mechanics, and material and mechanical methods of test analysis.
All through the course, you'll experience through hands-on learning from on- and off campus and on-line learning will develop your practical problem-solving approach through active learning laboratories, engineering laboratories and the use of engineering workshops and makerspace. You will undertake small group projects, typically sourced from industry. You'll also develop skills enabling you to:
- work effectively and supportively in diverse and inclusive groups
- communicate effectively in groups and one to one
- apply project management to group-work
- apply principles of commercial management and consideration of wider issues.
Each year you'll undertake a large group project which will supported through use on-line tools and on-line project management approach akin to industry. These projects, which are typically sourced from industry, will help you build in confidence and to develop your learning in engineering business, practice and project management.
In year 1, you'll have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding and some application. As you progress to year 2, you'll apply your knowledge and understanding to conceive, design, build and operate a solution to a problem. In your third year, you will undertake an individual research and development project that will inform the group project and help you to develop and illustrate the ability to critically analyse the application of your knowledge and understanding to solve an engineering problem.
