Educational Aims of the Course
The B.Eng. programme in Mechanical Engineering is designed to develop a high level of technical expertise together with the emotional intelligence to be able to practise successfully as a professional engineer in a modern interdisciplinary engineering environment. Graduate engineers are increasingly expected to take on important technical leadership and management responsibilities early in their careers and the knowledge and skills gained from this programme are designed to produce graduates who are able to make an immediate contribution to their employers organisations. The programme aims to: - Deliver the educational experience in which students can develop their knowledge of engineering science, core engineering principles and fundamental underpinning subjects such as mathematics and computation. - Develop students confidence to analyse challenging technical problems and to further develop their core engineering knowledge and skills through the investigation and development of credible and robust solutions. - Provide students with appropriate support and encouragement to develop the necessary skills such that they can study independently and take responsibility for their own learning and subsequent professional development. - Provide engineering graduates with a range of highly relevant transferable skills such as team working, communication, management, problem solving, computing and technical computing. - Produce graduates with a depth, breadth of knowledge and understanding of mechanical engineering, management and teamwork to enable them to rapidly assume technical leadership and management roles.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, theories and principles of their engineering discipline, and its underpinning science and mathematics. They must have an appreciation of the wider multidisciplinary engineering context and its underlying principles. They must appreciate the social, environmental, ethical, economic and commercial considerations affecting the exercise of their engineering judgment.
2.
Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of scientific principles and methodology necessary to underpin
their education in mechanical engineering, to enable appreciation of its scientific and engineering context, and to
support their understanding of historical, current, and future developments and technologies.
3.
Illustrate a knowledge and understanding of mathematical principles necessary to underpin their education in
mechanical engineering and related engineering disciplines and to enable them to apply mathematical methods,
tools and notations proficiently in the analysis and solution of engineering problems.
4.
Apply and integrate knowledge and understanding of other engineering disciplines to support study of
mechanical and related engineering disciplines.
5.
Understand engineering principles and the ability to apply them to analyse key engineering processes.
6.
Identify, classify and describe the performance of systems and components through the use of analytical
methods and modelling techniques.
7.
Apply quantitative methods and computer software relevant to mechanical and related engineering disciplines
to solve engineering problems.
8.
Apply appropriate quantitative science and engineering tools to the analysis of problems. They must be able
to demonstrate creative and innovative ability in the synthesis of solutions and in formulating designs. They must
be able to comprehend the broad picture and thus work with an appropriate level of detail.
9.
Demonstrate an understanding of and ability to apply a systems approach to engineering problems.
10.
Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the commercial and economic context of engineering
processes.
11.
Illustrate a knowledge of management techniques which may be used to achieve engineering objectives
within that context.
12.
Understand the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development.
13.
Demonstrate an awareness of the framework of relevant legal requirements governing engineering activities,
including personnel, health, safety, and risk (including environmental risk) issues.
14.
Understand the need for a high level of professional and ethical conduct in engineering.
15.
Apply practical engineering skills acquired through, for example, work carried out in laboratories and
workshops; in industry through supervised work experience; in individual and group project work; in design work;
and in the development and use of computer software in design, analysis and control. Evidence of group
working and of participation in a major project is expected
16.
Investigate and define a problem and identify constraints including environmental and sustainability
limitations, health and safety and risk assessment issues.
17.
Understand customer and user needs and the importance of considerations such as aesthetics
18.
Identify and manage cost drivers.
19.
Demonstrate creativity to establish innovative solutions
20.
Illustrate creativity to establish innovative solutions.
21.
Ensure fitness for purpose for all aspects of the problem including production, operation, maintenance and
disposal.
22.
Manage the design process and evaluate outcomes
23.
Demonstrate a knowledge of the characteristics of particular equipment, processes or products
24.
Develop engineering workshop and laboratory skills.
25.
Demonstrate an Understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied (e.g. operations
and management, technology, development, etc).
26.
Demonstrate transferable skills including problem solving, communication, and working with others, as well
as the effective use of general IT facilities and information retrieval skills.
27.
Understand the use of technical literature and other information sources
28.
Demonstrate an awareness of nature of intellectual property and contractual issues
29.
Demonstrate an understanding of appropriate codes of practice and industry standards
30.
Illustrate an awareness of quality issues
31.
Demonstrate an ability to work with technical uncertainty
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Acquisition of underpinning knowledge is achieved mainly through lectures and directed student-centred learning. Student-centred learning is used where appropriate resource material is available. Understanding is reinforced through case-studies. Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions. The students must appreciate the social, environmental, ethical, economic and commercial considerations affecting the exercise of their engineering judgement. Acquisition of Intellectual skills is achieved mainly through lectures and direct student-centred learning. Student-centred learning is used where appropriate resource material is available. Understanding is reinforced through case-studies. Engineering design, analysis and practical skills are taught almost exclusively by individual and group project work supported by a lecture programme appropriate to the demands of the project. Engineering design and practical skills are assessed by individual and group written design project reports, student presentations and presentations using computer graphics. The economic, Social and Environmental context of engineering operations is delivered by means of lectures and case studies. The use of appropriate case study material is an essential part of teaching in this area. Assessment is via a combination of unseen written examinations and coursework in the form of case-study reports.
