Course Summary

Why choose this course?

This innovative MSc course provides an advanced understanding of mechanical engineering, with the aim of producing postgraduates who can overcome the new and exciting challenges of the subject, and encourage imaginative and creative innovation. Balancing academic theory with practical considerations, this course covers key areas of the mechanical sciences such as stress analysis, CFD and heat transfer, along with product design, advanced materials, research methods and computer-aided engineering.

A principal component of the course is the dissertation project, which is usually associated with current research activity or industrial consultancy in the School of Engineering, allowing students to gain substantial expertise in one specific area.

You will pay attention to the development of investigative modelling and computational strategies. This will allow you acquire advanced knowledge and a systematic understanding of contemporary finite element modelling techniques, to analyse the behaviour of complex engineering systems and components. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of advanced solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and other analytical techniques used in product development and sustainability, and to apply these techniques to synthesise novel designs for a range of engineering applications.

Potential Career Paths

The course is aimed at students who wish to undertake a career in mechanical engineering administration and management. The examples and case studies used in the course are all designed to increase the students’ knowledge of the theory and practice of mechanical engineering to enhance their employability.

Modules

Besides Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, the topic of Solid Mechanics is one of the fundamental pillars of Mechanical Engineering. Within this area, there is the field of Stress Analysis which is a vital topic with which the mechanical engineer and any aspiring manager in the field of engineering should be familiar. This topic is known to be a traditional topic, the theoretical foundations of which have been well established in the past but, regarding applications, this area is constantly evolving. This module will allow the student to recall and be fully conversant with the underpinning theoretical principles and build student?s knowledge further to apply these analytical foundations to current industrial issues to model, analyse and contribute to the design of novel components, structures and products. The module will also allow the student to get acquainted with modern, recent developed, techniques to deal with thin-walled structures currently used in the automotive, aerospace and power industries. The module will also address the latest principles governing modern design issues.
