BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Our course has been carefully designed by experts in the field of mechanical engineering to help prepare students for professional practice in the world of interdisciplinary technology. The course provides you with analytical and scientific knowledge and management skills to design and manufacture complex mechanical systems. You’ll develop problem-solving expertise by creating practical solutions to problems that are directly relevant to industrial needs. The course emphasizes industry-standard modeling and simulation techniques such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA), as you establish the specification, design, and analysis of mechanical engineering systems. You’ll have access to the very latest equipment and resources to carry out this work, all of which will prepare you for a wide range of future careers. During your course, you’ll have regular contact with blue-chip companies and industry leaders in the sector, who will host visits and work placements and provide regular guest speakers to come and speak at the University of East London.
