Eligible qualifications include Higher National Diplomas and foundation degrees.

Course Details

Core Modules

• Computer Aided Analysis
  • Today engineers use computers and software in the engineering design and simulation of most of the products, processes and systems that make up our lifestyles. In this module your knowledge of advanced techniques is developed for the computer-based analysis of designs and to use commercial software to solve more complex engineering problems.
• Dynamics and Vibration
  • Engineers design, develop, construct and test devices and systems which operate on basic principles of dynamics and vibration. The development of reliable systems depends on the engineer’s understanding of the response of the system to externally applied loads.
• Mechanics of Materials 2
  • This module will develop the advanced theory and the principles of mechanics of materials and apply them to the analysis of realistic engineering problems.
• Project (BEng Tech)
  • This module advances the development of your independent learning skills by allowing you to investigate an area of engineering for an extended period.
• Sustainable Systems and Industry 4.0
  • The emergence of Industry 4.0, often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, has been attributed to advancing automation, decentralisation and system integration and cloud computing.

How You Learn

• The programme comprises 120 credits accumulated from classroom-based modules, laboratory-based modules, a Group Design Project and an Individual Engineering Project.
• You learn through lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, projects and examinations.

How You Are Assessed

• Modules are assessed by a variety of methods including examination and in-course assessment with some utilising other approaches such as verbal/poster presentations.

Entry Requirements

• A Level 5 qualification such as a Higher National Diploma (HND) or Diploma in higher education (DipHE) in a closely related discipline.
• International students must also provide evidence of English language skills equivalent to IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in each component.

Employability

• Graduate mechanical engineers can seek employment in almost every sector of industry, including: automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, marine, medical, rail, power, processing, chemical, oil and gas, and food production.
• On successful completion of this degree with at least 2.2 honours, you are eligible to apply for a place on a postgraduate master's programme at Teesside University, further enhancing your job and career prospects.
