This course gives you an excellent grounding in the knowledge and experience of the most fundamental of all engineering disciplines, preparing you for a variety of careers in engineering, technology, business and management. Years 1 and 2 are common with those of the MEng course in Mechanical Engineering. Subject to satisfactory performance, it is possible for you to transfer to the MEng course. Your final year emphasises individual work - you will undertake a major investigative project by yourself. This may require scientific experiments and investigations. This course aims to provide the mechanical engineers of the future with an education that covers: the breadth of this diverse subject; strong analytical and problem-solving skills; a high degree of competence in engineering design. Assessment is on a weighted marks basis. Each course unit is assessed by an examination and/or coursework mark. The proportion of the mark allocated to coursework and to the examination is not necessarily the same for every unit, and will be made known to you in advance by the course unit specification.
