Aims of BEng(Hons) courses
• To provide a broad engineering educational base with an emphasis on core mechanical engineering subjects (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, control, manufacturing, electronics, electrical machines, mechanics, materials, computing and design), which graduates can use to build careers in industry, research, education or the service sector.
• To integrate the use of analytical tools and the application of practical skills through design exercises, case studies and projects.
• To develop students skills to utilise the latest technologies including computer based tools for design, modelling and simulation.

Aims of MEng courses
All the aims of the BEng course
To provide a MEng programme that fulfils the educational requirement for Chartered Engineer status.
To prepare graduates for high level careers in industry, research, consultancy or the service sector by developing student’s versatility and depth of understanding enabling them to deal with new problems in different areas of engineering, provide technical and managerial leadership and implement changes in technology.
