International Mechanical Engineering

Overview

This International Mechanical Engineering BSc programme from University West will cover the main aspects of production technology, where its base is mechanical engineering. Subjects

• Mechanical engineering
• Manufacturing engineering
• Materials science and engineering
• Robotics and automation
• Electric vehicles

• Logistics and supply chain management

By the end of your programme, you will be able to:

• Choose, design or improve manufacturing processes by considering the behaviour of materials during the process and their impact on final products
• Program robots and design automation during manufacturing
• Manage the logistics and supply chain in manufacturing

• Work in the multidisciplinary field of electric vehicles

You’ll gain practical experience through assignments as well as group and individual projects in close collaboration with corporate leaders in the industry. In the third year of your programme, you’ll have the opportunity to complete an industrial placement and study abroad in Europe, Asia or South America.   The entire programme has been built through the collaboration of industry and researchers at University West. Every aspect is based on real hiring needs of companies and research facilities in the industry.

Career opportunities:

Factory systems are currently in transition from isolated optimised cells, where employees perform repetitive tasks, to fully integrated systems. This means companies are in need of engineers who understand the whole supply chain.
