The
Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering programme prepares students to solve complex engineering problems. Knowledge of scientific theory allows analysis of new problems, which together with research and investigation, is the basis of design. In addition, students gain a firm understanding of industrial computing, state of the art simulation techniques, and methodologies to evaluate new materials, products, and processes.
Year 1The first year of the Bachelor of Engineering is common to both majors. As well as undertaking papers in Engineering, students develop communication and team work skills, as engineers almost always work in teams which often involve non-engineering participants.
Students will study:
- Communication
- Electronics
- Engineering Computation
- Engineering Computing
- Engineering Graphics
- Engineering Principles
- Workshop Practice and Materials
Year 2Engineering analytical skills are built on the basic principles of Year One. Management and people skills are also introduced.
Year 3Engineering analysis diversifies in the third year to include higher levels of dynamics, material science and thermofluids. Independent learning and team work are developed using projects.
Year 4This year culminates with advanced level learning. An individual industrial project teaches the future graduate to synthesise all previous studies and prepares the student for an engineering career.
