Employability

Some of your work will be done individually, some within groups. All of it will boost your prospects of securing a rewarding career. There is a strong management theme throughout this course that will prepare you for a career as someone who directs the process of mechanical engineering. It will enable you to interact with a broad range of clients and employers from small businesses to large multinationals and government authorities. One of the many advantages of UEL’s links with local industry is that a number of visits from professionals in the field can also turn into informal interviews for full and part-time employment opportunities, as well as work placements. The list of prime industry links includes Atkins, Vinci, Crossrail, Thames Water, WSP, and Canary Wharf Contractors. Key local engineering employers judge an annual showcase event involving student projects – offering what could be a crucial opportunity to impress. Mechanical engineering is widely held to be one of the most diverse engineering disciplines as it deals with the design, development, installation, operation, and maintenance of any machinery. More disciplines – more jobs. As well as having a huge choice of employment within manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and marine engineering, graduates also have opportunities in areas such as the aircraft industry and the energy sector.
