Mechanical Engineers contribute to the design and manufacture of all types products, ranging from cars to toys, mobile phones and even heating systems. You will learn how machines and other mechanical systems work and how they are designed and controlled - how the gear box, clutch and engine in a car operate; how medical devices are fabricated, designed and tested; what the key properties of the materials used in the manufacture of these components are; what methods are used to fabricate and control these products. You will spend 50% of your time in laboratories learning through practical activities in small groups, and 50% in formal lectures. You will also complete group and individual projects, and have an opportunity to go on work placement in Year Three. Tuition is given on the latest CAD packages and leading-edge CNC turning and milling machines. Students learn how to work together in teams to accomplish specified goals and targets. Show less
