This course aims to produce graduates that are highly valued by employers. It 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. We use a variety of teaching styles that reflect the diversity of topics covered in modern mechanical engineering, and the range of skills and expertise that a professional engineer must develop. 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. The methods of assessment vary widely to suit the nature of the course unit and the material being produced by the students. Examinations are held where appropriate but emphasis is placed on continuous assessment including reports, posters, presentations and vivas, especially during the first two years and for project work. Major pieces of course work are double marked and moderated by external examiners to maintain objectivity and uniformity in the assessment procedures.
