Gilmorehill Campus

Content

Year 1: In your first year you will take courses in mathematics and study engineering fundamentals including applied mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics and properties of materials. These courses will form a solid foundation for development later in the degree programme and are supported by individual drawing and practical skills and group project and laboratory work.

Year 2: In your second year you will study further basic engineering subjects including applicable mathematics, applied mechanics, electrical power engineering, engineering computing, materials, power electronics, thermodynamics and design and manufacture.

Year 3: In third year you will visit a number of industries in the UK and study more advanced engineering subjects including dynamics, control and fluid power; engineering design; fluid mechanics; gas dynamics; heat transfer; instrumentation and data systems; materials and manufacture; mathematical modelling and simulation; and mechanics of materials and structures.

Years 4 and 5: In year 4 you will study a range of compulsory and optional courses from a list which includes advanced thermal engineering, control, lasers and electro-optic systems, materials engineering, mechanics of solids, robotics, vibration, renewable energy and design projects. In year 5 individual project work forms a major component of the MEng programme, which has a strong industrial bias. Further courses are chosen from advanced control systems engineering, dynamics, desalination, energy from waste materials engineering, and mechanics of solids and structures. You will also undertake a management course.
