Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

**From heating systems to refrigerators to cars, the mechanical engineer shapes our daily life, yet across the world they are in short supply. A BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree with Salford can launch an exciting career designing, commissioning and maintaining the systems of the future.** Mechanical engineers manage a wide range of processes, from the production of silicone chips to creating jet aircrafts. Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and is a direct pathway to professional status. It will provide you with the competencies to become a Chartered Engineer with a commitment to the highest professional standards.You’ll follow a three-year degree programme, or four with an industry placement year. At Salford, you’ll develop practical problem-solving skills in our specialist mechanical, aerodynamics, composite material and control and dynamic laboratories. You will study engineering in relation to mathematics, electrical systems, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, engineering structures and dynamics. You’ll explore elements such as engineering dynamics and control engineering and take part in a mechanical group design project.With a strong management theme throughout the course, you’ll have opportunities to interact with a broad range of local business and industry multinationals. You can also choose to take an industrial placement year, developing your workplace skills and adding ‘with Professional experience’ to your degree award.
