This course is offered in response to sustained international demand for highly skilled graduates in mechanical engineering for manufacturing and process engineering industries. On completion of the course, you will be able to: show a thorough understanding of the principles and theoretical bases of modern manufacturing techniques, automation, and production processes identify appropriate manufacturing systems for different production requirements and analyse their performance apply appropriate technology, quality tools and manufacturing methodology to design, re-design and continuously improve the manufacturing operations of engineering companies plan, research, execute and oversee experiments and research projects, critically analyse and interpret data, and effectively disseminate results work effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team, be self-motivated, able to work independently and demonstrate leadership

In response to increasing demand for highly skilled graduates in the field of mechanical engineering applied to the manufacturing and pharma-chem industries, this course will produce mechanical engineering postgraduates who are proficient in the development and realisation of modern manufacturing, process and automation systems. This is achieved through developing an understanding of the concepts of manufacturing systems, and the skills to analyse, design and implement manufacturing systems in practice. This is combined with an understanding of process automation and operational management. The course will equip you with an-up-to date knowledge of manufacturing techniques and processes.
