This programme is suitable for engineering, mathematics or physical sciences graduates who wish to specialise in themes in advanced mechanical engineering science or to support continued professional development. It offers a sound understanding of the relevant fundamental science, methods, analysis and engineering applications.
Programme structure
There are four themes: Bioengineering, Computational engineering design, Engineering materials, and Mechatronics. You will complete a research project during semester two, to be submitted by September. A list of research projects is produced each year based on staff research interests, but may also involve collaboration with external industrial organisations.
Core modules include:
Bioengineering: Biological flows; Orthopaedic biomechanics; Human factors in engineering; Advanced orthopaedic biomechanics; Biomaterials; Introduction to advanced mechanical engineering science
Computational engineering design: Advanced computational methods in engineering; Design search and optimisation; Numerical methods; Uncertainty quantification and robust design; Advanced finite element analysis; Applications of CFD
Engineering materials: Manufacturing with metals; Materials in transport; Composites engineering; Surface engineering; Introduction to advanced mechanical engineering science; Failure of materials; Theory of elasticity; Microstructural characterisation; Biomaterials
Mechatronics: Advanced electrical systems; Numerical methods; Classical control design; Advanced digital control; Sensors and signal processing for condition monitoring; Instrumentation; Robotic systems; Introduction to advanced mechanical engineering science
Optional modules from: A wide selection
