Educational Aims of the Course

Develop knowledge of essential scientific and engineering principles to be able to apply them to produce routine solutions to familiar mechanical engineering problems and to model and analyse routine mechanical engineering systems, processes and products. Develop specialist knowledge and understanding of the engineering and scientific principles which underpin the design and operation of engineering systems and equipment including thermodynamic, power transmission, static and dynamic fluid systems and combustion processes, and control systems. Develop a range of relevant transferable skills such as team working, communication, management, problem solving, computing and technical computing. Prepare students for employment by equipping them with the with knowledge, understanding and skills expected of holders of a Higher Diploma in Mechanical Engineering to enable them to progress to a range of technical and management careers or to progress to an undergraduate degree or further professional qualification in mechanical engineering or related area Provide the engineering base for progression to Incorporated Engineer level.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Lectures, tutorials, problem solving sessions, seminars, workshops, computer sessions, participation in projects. Examinations, assignments, preparation of reports, essays, technological reports, oral presentations, workshops, peer review, computer-based exercises.

Opportunities for work related learning

Work-related learning is included within this programme, so students will have the opportunity to engage in real world projects and activities. The programme has active links with industry and involves employers in the industrial projects, utilising real world case studies wherever possible. As this is a part time programme, students will be apply knowledge attained in their employment to their academic studies.
