This Foundation Year provides an introduction to mathematics, mechanics, computer programming, electricity and electronics, and the principles of engineering. Learn how to apply your mechanical engineering skill in a range of fields, from orthopaedics to automobile systems. Explore real-world problems with practical project work. You'll learn about mechanics, structures and materials, and study design and computing - all vital for a career in this industry.<br>Studying Mechanical Engineering involves learning how to take a product from initial concept, to design and manufacture. You'll cover the essential principles of engineering, and learn about:<br>modelling and computing<br>systems design<br>law<br>management<br>In your third year you'll complete an individual research project using many of the concepts youve learnt during the course. Projects range from system and product design to the mechanical testing of composite materials.
