Mechanical Engineering (Hons) Loughborough University

Overview

In the  Mechanical Engineering (Hons) delivered at Loughborough University You will develop skills in CAD, control, dynamics, heat transfer, mechanics, statics, thermodynamics, and more, all leading you to an ability to design and understand behaviour of mechanical products and technologies.

Key Facts

• This will allow you to specialise in technical streams within companies small and large, or develop a technical management career in national and multi-national companies.
• Upon successful completion of this course, you will have acquired a good understanding of the engineering science and engineering design skills necessary to effectively develop new mechanically based products. The courses provide an excellent foundation for graduates wishing to progress to professional engineering status.
• What's the difference between MEng and BEng?
• The MEng Mechanical Engineering degree is aimed at the most ambitious of students who wish to develop high-flying careers within different industrial sectors and to become the future leaders of industry in companies concerned with the engineering understanding and design of mechanical and industrial products. The MEng courses are the preferred route to achieving Chartered Engineer status.
• The structure of the first two years are common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with engineering science core skills, combined with engineering design and computational modules. The application of engineering science and the solution of industrial problems is a strong theme throughout the courses.
• The MEng is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, the MEng courses provide enhanced opportunities to study your chosen specialist subjects in depth. In addition, MEng students follow extra modules in practical business management, design and microprocessor control systems, and are offered the chance to study a language.
