Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

Course Description

If you want an extended education in Mechanical Engineering that will enable you to become a Chartered Engineer, this is the programme to choose as this four-year MEng degree satisfies the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a European Engineer (Eur Ing). The programme follows the Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) (H300) for the first two years, with study of the four core Mechanical Engineering subjects of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics and Dynamics. Additional topics include Mathematics, Materials Science, Electrical Circuits, Computing and Computer-Aided Design using the package ProENGINEER. In the third year of study, some specialisation is introduced with studies in Composite Materials and Management of Design. Individual and group projects during the third and fourth years provide experience of working on research, design or development projects typical of those that young engineers may encounter during their first few years in industry. These include the opportunity to work on the design of the Formula Student car. The fourth year also permits the study of several specialist topics in Mechanical Engineering, Computing, Manufacturing, Materials Science and Management. Why this subject? Be a modern engineer for the future. We are committed to developing the modern professional engineers for the future. We ensure that your learning environment reflects your future working environment. We have received many accolades from the engineering industry who regard our graduates amongst the most employable in the world. Our emphasis is on active learning, supported by traditional lectures and tutorials, as well as the opportunities to be involved in research-led teaching, conducted in collaboration with industry, Government, research laboratories and academics around the world. Outstanding facilities. We are a centre of excellence for engineering research. We house the UK Centre for Materials Education and have a highly respected reputation for superb experimental facilities. Our recent £32 million redevelopment includes the new Active Learning Laboratory, one of the largest and best-equipped laboratories in Europe. State-of-the-art facilities include; two research-standard full motion flight simulators (one of which is unique within the academic world), mechanical robotics, wind turbines, a water flume, additive layer manufacturing and many more. Flexible programmes. The programmes are very flexible, providing opportunities for specialisation in one discipline or a broad skill base across all engineering disciplines. All programmes can accommodate a Year Out in industry for those students wishing to take this option. Accredited programmes. All our BEng/MEng degree programmes are accredited by at least one professional institution. An MEng degree from Liverpool satisfies the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
