About Program
Program Overview
Through coursework, projects, and hands-on experiences, students develop analytical, problem-solving, and design skills. The program culminates in a final year project, preparing graduates for a wide range of career opportunities in industries such as oil and gas, subsea, and defense.
Program Outline
Outline:
- Year 1:
- Engineering science content is integrated through the Design and Application classes.
- Students also choose elective classes.
- Year 2:
- Students focus on the mainstream core of engineering subjects, together with Applied Mathematics and Information Technology.
- The Engineering Science element includes thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, dynamics and control, structural mechanics and materials.
- Students may also choose elective modules, developing areas such as language skills or business management.
- Year 3:
- Design is the central theme of studies in third-year.
- Students undertake design exercises and supporting engineering science modules relevant to their degree.
- There is also the opportunity to spend some or all of Year 3 studying abroad on a compatible course.
- Years 4 & 5:
- In the final years of study, students begin operating as a professional engineer, working closely with academic staff as mentors.
- Students also complete an individual and group project, which are mandatory for professional accreditation.
- MEng study broadens students' horizons and deepens their understanding of specialist areas, such as aerodynamics, aero-propulsion systems and finance.
- Those who haven’t spent a year abroad in Year 3 may do so in Year 5, following a Masters equivalent course.
Assessment:
- Written exams
- Coursework assignments
- Presentations
- Individual/group projects
- The final award classification is normally based on inputs from the first assessed attempt at compulsory and specified optional classes across all years, except Year 1, plus, if appropriate, an oral exam.
Teaching:
- In the early stages, learning skills are developed through interactive teaching, problem-solving and problem-based learning.
- In later years, students will take part in lectures, tutorials, web-based interactive learning, practical work and computer-based learning.
- The emphasis on individual and group projects increases as students’ skills develop.
Careers:
- With skills including analytical, numeracy and problem solving, Mechanical Engineering graduates are suited to a wide range of career opportunities.
- Recent graduates from MEng Mechanical Engineering have been recruited into areas such as oil and gas, subsea, shipbuilding and defence industries.
- Some of the graduates’ job titles include Production Engineer, Projects Engineer, Subsea Engineer, Nuclear Graduate Trainee and Mechanical Development Engineer.
- Some students have also continued to postgraduate study or research.
Other:
- The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering is targeted annually for graduate recruitment by more than 60 companies, enhancing students' career prospects.
- The program is professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
- A high proportion of students participate in activities such as the Outdoor Management Skills course at Outward Bound Scotland, Formula Student, the national competition to build a formula student racing car, (at which Strathclyde is the top-performing Scottish university), the British Model Flying Association’s University Challenge, and ‘Gala,’ the annual employers’ networking dinner.
- Scotland: £1,820
- England, Wales & Northern Ireland: £9,250
- International: £26,700
- Study abroad: study abroad is possible in Years 3 or 5 but is only compulsory for the "with International Study" degree. Students will bear some of the cost of this which will vary depending on country of study.
- Visa & immigration: International students may have associated visa and immigration costs.
