Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the broadest of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture and maintenance of systems and devices that involve forces, motion, energy and materials. It underpins almost every industry: from the turbines that generate electricity to the engines that power vehicles, from the prosthetics that restore movement to the robots that automate production lines. Mechanical engineers must combine deep analytical knowledge with creative problem-solving and practical judgment, and the degree reflects all of that. At the University of Leicester, the BEng programme gives significant emphasis to how mechanical engineering has been transformed by computer-aided design, simulation, prototyping and manufacturing technologies, as well as by the development of advanced materials including composites. You will study engineering mechanics, thermodyna
