前两年在我们的机械工程学位中很常见。教学以四个主题为基础：设计与制造，动力学与控制，热流体，材料。一年级和两年级涵盖了机械工程的基本原理，包括讲座，实验室和设计班以及一些短期的建模项目第三年在此基础上，并将第一年和第二年涵盖的原理应用于更现实和复杂的工程应用。第三年的主要内容是一个开放性的个人研究项目，需要独立和创新的思维。在第四年级，学生可以从专业选项中进行选择，以提供对最新工程研究的深刻见解。第四年还包括第二个主要小组项目。在这些项目中，学生必须利用有效的团队合作来应对巨大的开放式技术挑战。
This course is well balanced, covering a wide range of topics in engineering science and engineering practice. The course is designed to educate the next generation of mechanical engineers to have a positive impact on our society across the 21st century.Our curriculum embeds a diverse set of professional engineering and management skills spanning four core thematic areas:design and manufacturedynamics and controlmaterialsenergy and fluid flow.Years one and two are common to all mechanical engineering students and cover the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. Teaching is delivered via lectures, seminars, laboratories, design classes and short projects in modelling and manufacturing.In your third year you will apply the principles you have learnt to real, complex engineering applications. A major element is the open-ended individual research project, which requires independent and creative thinking.In the fourth year you will select from a range of specialist options and undertake a substantial group project to address an open-ended technical challenge.
