A modern mechanical engineering degree is a blend of traditional disciplines such as stress analysis, dynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, with contemporary subjects such as mechatronics, laser materials processing, healthcare engineering and the range of techniques known collectively as computer aided engineering (CAE). Our IMechE accredited BEng Mechanical Engineering degree courses provide a balanced, theoretical and practical introduction to fundamental engineering principles and their application to real industrial projects. The courses provide an excellent platform for graduates wishing to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or to progress to Chartered Engineer status, while the transferable skills which graduates develop should also suit them to employment and career routes in a wide variety of professions. If you choose to follow a MEng or BEng sandwich course you will complete a full year of assessed IMechE accredited industrial training between years 2 and 3 of your academic studies, leading to the additional award of Loughborough’s well respected Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). On graduation you will be awarded the qualification of MEng (Hons) DIS for the five year course, or BEng (Hons) DIS for the four year course.
