MEng (Hons) / BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering – Top Up

The overall aim of this program is to ensure graduates have a comprehensive engineering education combined with specialist knowledge of Mechanical Engineering, recognized as a professional qualification by the engineering community. Graduates will be eligible to apply for memberships of professional engineering bodies in UK after completing the program. The educational aims for mechanical engineering collectively strive to develop independence, creative talent, and leadership, as well as the capability for continuing professional growth and self-learning. This ensures that graduates are equipped with the appropriate knowledge and enterprising capabilities to practise engineering professionally, ethically and sustainably. Thus, the programme will:
• Provide the mechanical engineering industry, profession and public services with graduates who can play leading roles by combining theory with practice and employing relevant managerial and communication skills enabling the analysis and synthesis of products and systems across mechanical engineering and related disciplines.
• Enable students to pursue professional careers in mechanical or related engineering disciplines at a level which requires the exercise of sound judgement, initiative, and the ability to make informed decisions in complex and unpredictable circumstances that reflect a responsible, ethical, social and sustainable outlook.
• Provide students with up-to-date knowledge and skills enabling them to create and develop ‘innovative and economically’ viable products, processes and systems to meet a predefined criteria.
• Encourage a systems approach encompassing both holistic and modular views to the analysis, synthesis and realisation of mechanical engineering products and systems.
• Allow a broadly based education in mechanical engineering, combined with an appreciation of mechatronics, control and design, thereby providing access to a wide range of career paths within the engineering profession or to pursue further studies if desired.
• Require team working through the participation of engineering group projects where the project team members are drawn from a range of cognate engineering disciplines.
• Furnish the ability to research and develop knowledge, process or products relating to mechanical engineering, thereby enhancing the creative aspects and knowledge creation allowing for continuous improvement and innovation.
