Mechanical Engineering

About this programme

Prepare yourself for a career in Mechanical Engineering. Gain relevant expertise and get hands-on with state-of-the-art facilities at USW. Combining our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree with Masters-level material, this course allows you to further distinguish yourself with an advanced set of professional and technical skills. The Mechanical Engineering course also removes the need to source further funding to study a Masters-level qualification. Mechanical engineers have an inquiring mind, wanting to understand how things work and how to apply knowledge to real-world problems. Sustainable solutions to important areas such as energy security, food and water supplies, sustainable transport are just some of the areas where Mechanical Engineers contribute their knowledge. We have strong links with industry and place considerable emphasis on student projects and practical, problem-based learning. We encourage industrial placements and work closely with employers to assist students with this opportunity. Staff are experts in their fields, some through research activities and some through professional practice in industrial careers. This Mechanical Engineering degree includes the computing, mathematical and physical sciences required to design, develop and manufacture a range of engineering systems. During the fourth year, you will be studying at Masters level, where students are encouraged to think independently and challenge theories and results. During the first year, you’ll be introduced to some of the core subject areas that underpin Mechanical Engineering. T
