Mechanical Engineering (with Foundation Year) - BEng (Hons)

Our BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering combines mathematics, science, technology, and management. Develop a robust understanding of general engineering principles and valuable transferable skills. Learn about industry-standard techniques. You will study computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). You will focus on specifying, designing, and analysing mechanical engineering systems.

Create intricate mechanical systems, refining problem-solving skills tailored to meet industrial demands.
Deepen your knowledge in core mechanical engineering disciplines. These include design analysis, dynamic systems, computational fluid dynamics, advanced materials, control systems, and sustainable energy technologies.
Access cutting-edge equipment in well-equipped modern laboratories. Study material testing, fluid mechanics, dynamics, hydraulics, structures, CNC machining, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, electronics, electrical machines and power, and control systems. Use simulation and modelling application software. Make use of our strong industry connections to solve real-world challenges. Align your final year project with pioneering research conducted by our active mechanical engineering academics.

A foundation year at the University of East London (UEL) is more than just an extra year—it’s your pathway to success. It helps you adjust to university life, build confidence, and develop essential skills for levels 4-6 of your chosen degree. With dedicated support, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to thrive in your studies and future career while becoming part of a supportive community.
