Awarded by University of Sheffield, UK
Mechanical engineering is the most broadly based of all the engineering professions. Mechanical engineers are involved at some stage in the conception, design, production, fi nance and marketing of all manufactured goods, from the largest power station, space craft or car plant to the most delicate mechanisms required for scientifi c instruments, heart valves and micro-surgery. The course offered by The University of Sheffi eld refl ects this wide range of activities and the department has received excellent ratings for teaching and research.
The University of Sheffi eld MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (1+3) provides a good grounding in mechanical engineering and students will become a highly numerate graduate with excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. This is the most fl exible of the courses and covers essential subjects required for a mechanical engineer, with emphasis on modelling and design. During the first five semesters, students will study a common core of mathematics, applied dynamics, mechanics of fluids, mechanics of solids, applied thermodynamics, mechanical behaviour of materials, and electrical and electronic engineering. Students will also study computer controlled systems and mechatronics, which underlines the role of electronic instrumentation and computation in modern industrial systems. The role of engineering in business and management will also be introduced.
The final three semesters comprise an individual project as well as optional subjects which allow the students to pursue their individual interests.
Mechanical engineering graduates from The University of Sheffield have excellent employment prospects in careers with favourable salaries as compared with other fields. Graduates are highly sought after by companies looking for high quality, competent mechanical engineers, and previous graduates have gone on to find employment in prestigious companies such as Rolls Royce, Ove Arup, Jaguar, Network Rail, Atkins and Deutsche Bank.
Many of the graduates who pursue careers in industry will go into manufacturing, transport, power generation or engineering consultancies. Others go into research, management consultancies or the armed forces.
