Mechanical Engineering Technology, BEng Hons

The aim of this programme is to prepare students for a career as incorporated engineers in the dynamic environment that is modern engineering. The incorporated engineer plays a significant role in the engineering industry, from development and testing through to manufacture.

The programme is designed to provide students with a broad range of skills in mechanical engineering through a strong applications focus. Students develop their skills through using different applications and become familiar with how practical and analytical techniques can be applied to real, complex situations.
