In this course, students will spend their third year studying mechanical engineering at a leading university in the USA or Canada. This course combines core mechanical engineering with the chance to experience a different culture and develop international business skills. In years one and two, you'll study the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, mathematics and management. In your third year in North America, you'll study an agreed set of mechanical engineering courses.  All our students also take the Global Engineering Challenge. Working with students from other engineering courses, you'll have to find creative solutions to problems. The project looks at challenges faced by communities throughout the world. It's designed to develop you as a professional engineer and get you thinking about sustainable solutions.
