MEng Mechanical Engineering (4 years)

A Mechanical Engineering course brings together a broad range of disciplines and is vital to every aspect of our daily lives. Mechanical Engineers research, develop, design, manufacture and test tools, engines, machines and other mechanical devices for a wide range of applications, from the automotive and aerospace fields to biomedical and microsystems.

Students undertake Years 1 and 2 at the University of Southampton Malaysia and Years 3 and 4 at the UK campus.

Introducing your degree

Shape the future of engineering and open the path to a career as a Chartered Engineer with the MEng Mechanical Engineering degree. Apply for this course and learn to design and develop novel and innovative structures and materials for a wide range of technologies from cars to medical devices. Study system designs and computing to give you the skills to contribute to this constantly changing industry. Enhance technology today through the MEng Mechanical Engineering degree.

The MEng Mechanical Engineering course is identical to that in the UK and offers the same style and opportunities to study. The course will be taught in Malaysia for the first two years of the programme with a smooth transition to Southampton’s UK campus for the final two years. You will therefore have the opportunity to graduate with a degree from an internationally recognised university and experience higher education in the UK, but to also spend part of the time nearer to home. The teaching is structured on a semester pattern.

To Apply

Wherever you are in the world, you can apply to study at the University of Southampton Malaysia via our website.

Accreditation

Our mechanical engineering courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and offer you a route to chartered status.

The MEng Mechanical Engineering fully meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Programme Structure

The University uses the European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS) to indicate the approximate amount of time a typical student can expect to spend in order to complete successfully a given module or programme. 1 ECTS indicates around 20 nominal hours of study. Previously, Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) points were used for this purpose where 1 CATS credit was 10 nominal hours of study. You will study modules comprising 120 credits (60 ECTS) for all four years. Each module is a self-contained part of the programme of study and carries a credit rating.

Should you choose to exit this programme after successfully completing three years of study, you will be eligible for a BEng qualification. The BEng route develops the same core skills as the MEng, however by choosing the MEng you will study a more extensive range of subjects at an advanced level.

Changes due to COVID-19

Any future COVID-related restrictions could mean we might have to change the way parts of our teaching and learning take place.

We are working hard to plan for a number of possible scenarios. This means that some of the information on this course page may be subject to change.

Key Facts

You will work on design activities that relate theory to practice and combine analytical skills and creativity in the solution of real engineering problems

In part three you will undertake an individual project, which may be sponsored by industry.

In part four you will work on a major group design project, applying your knowledge to a practical engineering problem.

Costs associated with this course

Students are responsible for meeting the cost of essential textbooks, and of producing such essays, assignments, laboratory reports and dissertations as are required to fulfil the academic requirements for each programme of study.

In some cases you'll be able to choose modules (which may have different costs associated with that module) which will change the overall cost of a programme to you. Please also ensure you read the section on additional costs in the University’s Fees, Charges and Expenses Regulations in the University Calendar available at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk .

Educational aims of the programme

As defined by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Mechanical Engineering is concerned with “the innovative application of engineering and management sciences that underpin existing and emerging technologies to the complete life cycle of all mechanical devices, machines and systems.” A Mechanical Engineer needs to be skilled in the application of a knowledge based on mathematics, science, design, materials and manufacturing, integrated with business and management to develop sustainable and environmentally compatible technological solutions that provide the infrastructure, goods and services needed by society.

The aims of the MEng in Mechanical Engineering are to:

  • provide you, in Parts I and II, with a sound understanding of the fundamental principles, methods, analysis and synthesis in engineering design and applications appropriate to the discipline of Mechanical Engineering
  • provide you, in Parts III and IV with a range of specialist modules integrated within the structured learning environment, reflecting the internationally renowned research expertise within Engineering Sciences, in order to broaden and deepen your educational experience
  • train you so that you are able to become a professional engineer meeting the requirements of the Engineering Council (ie UK-SPEC), and to have a broad range of knowledge and skills (including IT and communication skills) capable of meeting the present and future demands of the mechanical engineering profession.
  • offer you a degree structure that is relevant to industry, and responsive to changes in technology and the needs of the community
  • provide you with a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment that encourages an attitude of independent learning and enquiry, and fosters an ethos of lifetime learning and professional development
  • offer you a range of individual and group projects and assignments that are supported by the research activities within Engineering Sciences and stimulate individual innovation, self-assessment and teamwork skills required in engineering design

Teaching and learning methods

Knowledge and understanding

Knowledge and understanding is gained through a combination of formal and special lectures, tutorials (small group teaching), example classes, laboratory experiments, coursework and individual and group projects at all levels. Throughout the programme you are encouraged to use additional recommended reading material for private study to consolidate the formal learning process, and to broaden and deepen your understanding. You are encouraged to become student members of the professional institution, to use their libraries and resources, and attend meetings.

You are taught through a combination of lectures, small group seminars and lab work
Lecture at our Malaysia campus
Intellectual skills

These are developed through the teaching and learning activities throughout the MEng in Mechanical Engineering. Analysis and problem solving skills are further developed through regular problem sheets issued by module lecturers and through small group teaching. Experimental, research and design skills are further developed through coursework exercises, laboratory, and design and research projects. Individual feedback is provided on all work submitted. Appreciation of the practical applications of these skills is provided by interaction with industry through visiting lectures and industrial visits.

Assessment methods

Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations and assessed coursework in the form of problem solving exercises, laboratory reports, design exercises, essays, and individual and group projects.
Analysis and problem solving skills are assessed through unseen written examinations and problem based exercises. Experimental, research and design skills are assessed through laboratory reports, coursework exercises, project reports and oral presentations.

Research

Our research is relevant to your undergraduate course because you will be taught by people who are experts in their area of research. This is especially important for science subjects, where knowledge is advancing rapidly. This is particularly true for your final year. In your third year, you have the opportunity to do an individual research project.

Pathways

In parts one and two, you will study core mechanical engineering topics to give you a strong foundation in the subject. In parts three and four you can follow an interdisciplinary programme or choose to specialise in one of the following pathways (themes):

Acoustical Engineering

The noise and vibration performance of many engineering designs is critical to their success. For example, reducing noise is a key requirement for aircraft, trains and domestic products. Acoustic principles can also be exploited to give an enhanced acoustic experience, for example by designing the sound of a car or the acoustics of a concert hall. This programme enables you to extend a firm grounding in mechanical engineering into the area of acoustical engineering in the 3rd and 4th years by taking acoustics courses taught by world-leading experts.
