MEng Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering MEng course at Heriot-Watt University is a full-time, four-year undergraduate program. This course provides prospective students with a solid grounding in the principles of mechanical engineering. With its focus on problem-solving and practical experience, this course prepares students to be professionals in the broad and diverse field of mechanical engineering.Course Content: The course content is structured to balance theory and practical learning. Students will be taught principles of engineering mechanics, engineering design, materials and manufacturing, thermo-fluids, and mechanics of machines, in the initial stages. The following years deepen this grounding in fundamentals with more specialised subjects, such as systems, control engineering, and solid mechanics. The final year project allows students to conduct research in a specific area of mechanical engineering.Key Modules: The course includes key modules like Materials in Action, Engineering Mechanics, Thermofluids, Mechanics of Machines, Control Engineering and Design for Manufacture. Accreditations: The Mechanical Engineering MEng course is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Energy Institute.Future Careers: After graduating from this course, students will have opportunities to work in a wide variety of sectors. These include aerospace, automotive engineering, manufacturing, oil and gas, renewable energy and even finance or management consultancy. The course also provides a strong foundation for those wishing to pursue further study or research in mechanical engineering.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
