Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
This degree provides a broad based engineering education to equip students with the knowledge required to practice
professionally as a design engineer. The main aim of this course is to enable students to understand the fundamental
concepts of engineering with the emphasis on those most relevant to mechanical engineering; secondly, to show how
they may be applied to solve a wide range of mechanical and allied engineering problems using computers and computeraided
methods, and thirdly, to develop skills and confidence to allow the creation of computer-based systems covering a
wide range of disciplines. Students are strongly recommended to take advantage of the industrial placement, which provides the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained during the course.
