Aero-Mechanical Engineering University of Strathclyde

Overview

Mechanical engineers are recognised for their knowledge and skills in conceiving, designing, implementing and operating devices, machines, engines and energy systems.

Many of the aero-related topics, such as aerodynamics and lightweight structures, are of special interest and value to a wide variety of engineering activities outside the field of aeronautics. 

Graduates from the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering - which is consistently rated in the top 10 such departments in the UK -  are part of a new breed of engineer who can take on challenges ranging from traditional industries to areas such as new materials, sustainable development and aerospace.

Study abroad is an option for all Mechanical Engineering courses. 

What you’ll study

The majority of our students follow five-year MEng courses. All students experience the same learning pace in the first two years and BEng students can, and often do, transfer to the MEng programme. The Aero-Mechanical courses diverge from the core earlier to develop specialist themes.

Studying the Aero-Mechanical Engineering programme at the University of Strathclyde you'll learn about:

• aerodynamics

• flight and spaceflight mechanics

• aero-propulsion systems

• gas dynamics

• computational fluid dynamics

• materials for aerospace applications

• aero-elasticity

• lightweight structures

Careers

With skills including analytical, numeracy and problem solving, Mechanical Engineering graduates are suited to a wide range of career opportunities.

Recent MEng Aero Mechanical Engineering graduates have been recruited in areas such as aerospace, automotive, consulting, defence, energy, oil and gas and shipbuilding. Job titles include Product Design Engineer, Aero-dynamist, Aeronautical Engineer and Aerospace Engineer.
