About the course This programme has been developed to meet the growing need for postgraduate skills within the engineering industry, and the demand for professional development for graduate engineers. The programme integrates the mechanical engineering subjects with key generic skills in management and research methods. This approach will help to develop your critical thinking skills as a future engineering manager, or technical specialist enabling you to effectively analyse technical and management issues. The University of Hertfordshire has a worldwide reputation for excellence in applied mechanical engineering. This international reputation will give you the opportunity to study with graduates from universities worldwide. You will benefit from the expertise of guest speakers from industry where relevant and appropriate. The programme will: provide education and experience to support your professional employment and career development within the industry focus on the links between engineering analysis and design and supporting management skills management provide a blend of knowledge and application experience through case studies and project work equip you with the theory and practice of relevant subjects, technologies and analytical tools to provide solutions for mechanical and related manufacturing problems The programme offers two award routes that you can choose to study: One-year full-time MSc Mechanical Engineering (September and January entry) 18-months full-time MSc Mechanical Engineering (September and January entry)
Module introduces various implementations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its theoretical foundation. It covers how to tackle complex engineering challenges with CFD; to evaluate and to analyse efficiently the resulting data.
This module will extend students' understanding of dynamic motion in mechanical systems using advanced mathematical modelling techniques to predict mechanical system behaviour. Condition monitoring methodologies will be used to evaluate mechanical system performance with respect to machinery fault diagnostics.
To achieve and maintain market position, manufacturing industry must develop profitable and competitive products in time, to quality and within budget. This requires all operational functions of the company to be well organized to achieve common objectives. Hence, this module will examine the organizational aspects of product development from corporate aims and product strategy through design, manufacturing engineering and into production. The module will comprise product portfolios management, development strategy, development planning and the process of product development. Aspects of management practice and the application of tools and techniques will be included.
This module will enable students to evaluate different forms of renewable energy. This will include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, fuel cell, nuclear and bioenergy. The student will learn how to develop and assess energy conversion system, how it can be optimised and flaws in the technology.
The University of Hertfordshire offers a huge variety of postgraduate courses across 19 subject areas, from creative art...
