BEng Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering BEng course at the University of Leicester provides students with expertise in mechanical engineering fundamentals along with specialisms like computer-aided engineering and machine learning for design and manufacturing. It is a three-year course that features two years of common modules and a third year that offers options to specialize.Course Content: The first two years cover common modules including Solid Mechanics, Thermofluids, Materials Science, and Mathematics. In the third year, students can choose to specialize in areas like Renewable Energy Systems, Additive Manufacturing, CFD for Aerodynamic Design, Micromechanics and of Composite Materials, Robotics, and Manufacturing Systems Modelling and Simulation. The course is designed to be flexible, allowing students to switch between different Mechanical Engineering courses after their second year.Key Modules: Some of the key modules of the course include Mechanics of Materials, Dynamics, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Controls and Systems Engineering, and Mathematics for Engineers. Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and provides complete academic coverage of the knowledge base specified by the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).Future Careers: The Mechanical Engineering BEng course equips students with skills relevant to a variety of sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. Potential careers include manufacturing systems engineer, operations manager, automotive engineer, and project manager. For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
