Mechanical Engineering (BEng)H300

Almost any machine or process you can think of in modern life has benefited from the input of a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers are responsible for the analysis, design and manufacture of an enormous range of industrial products and systems. This includes almost anything with moving parts, from washing machines and wind turbines to automobiles and aircraft. As a mechanical engineer, you will use your creative and inventive skills to design and improve products and processes alongside fundamental: physicscomplex mathematicsstate-of-the-art engineering software Studying mechanical engineering will open doors to increasingly diverse fields, including: bioengineeringmedical engineeringnanotechnologysports engineeringrenewable energy Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important industrial companies. This has a strong influence on our curriculum and programme development. We are one of the strongest in the UK in renewable energy systems and structures with world-class facilities, including FloWave and FastBlade which allows research-based teaching and student projects?. We have strong industry connections within Edinburgh, the UK, and beyond. This leads to excellent placement, internship and career opportunities?. You will also have the opportunity to apply to spend your third year studying abroad in a partnering overseas university. We are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create. You can take advantage of our award-winning student societies such as Formula Student (designing, building and racing performance cars, including EVs), Endeavour (the rocketry society), and HYPED (the hyperloop society). Our student clubs and societies You will get hands-on practical experience in the form of laboratory sessions and access a dedicated Makerspace workshop. More about Engineering Makerspace (Revised 9 May 2024 to reflect curriculum renewal changes) Our degrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Candidates must hold a masters degree or doctorate accredited as further learning for Chartered Engineers (CEng) to hold accredited qualifications for theCEngregistration. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees. An accredited degree is also likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
