Be at the engineering forefront of new and emerging technologies and materials to improve todays ever-changing world.<br/><br/>**Why study Mechanical Engineering at ARU**<br/><br/><br/>- Develop the knowledge and skills you need to resolve practical, real-world challenges, and practice the ‘art of precision guesswork’ and problem solving.<br/><br/><br/>- Bring the world of work to life through Live Briefs; these course modules are designed and developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solving.<br/><br/><br/>- Study in our state-of-the-art facilities including 3D printing, CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing) laboratories, and CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining.<br/><br/><br/>- Explore modules in areas including materials, design and modelling, manufacturing, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, as well as project-based learning.<br/><br/><br/>- A diverse breadth of expert staff with a wide range of industrial and academic backgrounds make learning more real, hands-on and relevant.<br/><br/><br/>- Our engineering courses are in line with the new Engineering Council requirements (AHEP 4.0).<br/><br/><br/>Get involved in our accredited project-based course with other engineering students, developing your teamwork and leadership skills whilst learning how to analyse and solve problems creatively. This accredited course gives you real world experience and plays a vital role in setting the scene and promoting the industry standard expectations; preparing you for employment upon graduation.<br/><br/>You’ll apply science and engineering principles to industry-led “Live Briefs” and propose solutions to problems from companies such as BAE systems, Ford Motor Company, New Hollands, Antobot and Tecosim. This innovative approach allows you to spend 50% of your time in the classroom and 50% in the engineering workshops and specialist laboratories.<br/><br/>From the very start of your degree, you’ll meet established engineers from across the industry, learn what it’s like to work in engineering, and be encouraged to join professional bodies, building valuable contacts and knowledge to help you gain employment in your preferred area. You’ll build your CV not only by learning manufacturing and testing methods and using industry-standard equipment, but by working individually and as part of a team, solving problems and carrying out research.<br/><br/>Our accredited four-year MEng degree (a three-year undergraduate degree plus a Masters degree in one course) fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements, for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). <br/><br/>In a demanding graduate employment market, an integrated Masters degree can enhance your employability by advancing your knowledge and equipping you with sought after professional skills.
