BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) course offered by the University of Huddersfield is a full-time undergraduate course designed to inspire and challenge students in the field of engineering. This course equips students with the knowledge and skills to give them the edge in the continually-demanding and changing global job market. The course encompasses a broad view of the subject, allowing students to see where their skills could be used within the industry.Course Content: Drawing on support from industry and the engineering professional bodies, this course focuses on the themes of design and analysis, materials and manufacturing, thermofluids and dynamics. A large part of engineering involves applying the skills and knowledge learned to real-world context, thus the students are offered a choice of projects where they can design and make something. The course offers work placement opportunities that give first-hand experience working in the industry.Key Modules: Among the key modules are: Introduction to Mechanics and Materials, Mechanical Engineering Design & Workshop, Manufacturing Technology & Workshop, Mathematics for Engineering & Computing, Mechanical Engineering Management 2, Strength & Testing of Engineering Materials, Engineering Analysis & Applications 3, Tailored Mini Project, Research & Development Project, Advanced Engineering Systems, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: Graduates from this course can develop careers in various sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, bioengineering, energy and materials. They work on a range of industrial activities, which can involve concept design, model creation, materials selection, investigation of new manufacturing processes, production planning and control, and recycling considerations. Many of our graduates go on to become professional engineers, while others use their creativity, problem-solving abilities and technical skills in sectors such as finance and management.
