BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Our Mechanical Engineering Graduates go on to amazing careers in a diverse range of industries. You could have an impact on one of the major challenges facing society today such as climate change, world health and the future of our transport networks. We are situated at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse with great links to set you up for an exciting career. A degree in Mechanical Engineering could open the door to a wide range of challenging and rewarding career opportunities that will allow you to contribute to a more sustainable future, securing a role at the at the heart of these technological developments could result in a substantial earning potential which will allow you to shape the lifestyle you want in the future. The top five job titles advertised in the UK for graduate roles associated with Mechanical Engineering courses are Mechanical Design Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Service Engineer, Project Engineer and Mechanical Project Engineer. Visitors to campus are always impressed with the teaching and research facilities we have for you to use and develop as a Mechanical Engineer. We have invested in these facilities so you can gain practical experience with wind tunnels, fluid mechanics laboratories and materials testing. Why study Mechanical Engineering BEng(Hons) at Huddersfield This course is designed to give you flexibility in your choice of engineering career pathways after graduation. You will study the fundamental principles of mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer and fluid flow with design, manufacturing, and business considerations. With an understanding of the key role of sustainability you will be ready for career opportunities in a wide range of industries. Our Common First Year lets you explore key areas of Electronic and Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering, giving you the chance to “taste” different specialisms before you decide. You will work in multi-disciplinary teams and build a solid foundation aligned with industry needs, whichever path you choose next. During your first and second year, you will be part of our programme: EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). This will see you work on projects to develop your technical knowledge and skills. EnABLE aims to boost your confidence, helping you when undertaking an optional placement in your third year, or when securing your first graduate role post-university. An optional placement year is available to you after your second year in the course, allowing you to put your knowledge and skills to the test at sites in the UK and abroad. In the fourth year you will work on a selected individual researchdesign project with the support of your academic supervisor. It is possible to align this with one of the Master's team projects, which involve the design, build and friendly competitive testing of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle, for example, for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail. Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which will help you toward achieving Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status and partly meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
