Mechanical engineers are found in every aspect of the engineering industry. They are innovative professionals, transforming ideas into inventions. Mechanical Engineering is a key discipline in today’s highly technological society, and mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of almost everything you see or touch.<br/><br/>This degree will train you for a rewarding career in a wide range of engineering sectors and develop the key skills required to become a professional engineer. You will gain the ability to use analytical skills and tools to formulate and solve problems relevant to the application of engineering to industry. The degree will also provide a foundation for you to aim for the prized Chartered Engineer status.<br/><br/><strong>Mechanical Engineering Facilities include:</strong> <br/>• A Dynamics Mechanics Laboratory<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Fluids Laboratory<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Jet Cat Engine Test Room<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Accreditation</strong><br/>The Mechanical Engineering course at Swansea University is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the educational requirement for Further Learning for Engineering Council registration as a Chartered Engineer.<br/><br/>Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). Studying on this accredited degree will provide you with some of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills needed as a Chartered Engineer. Some employers prefer to recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by many countries that are signatories to international accords.<br/><br/><strong>Did you know all of our courses are available with a Year in Industry or Year Abroad?</strong> These placement years increase our students confidence and communication skills as well as help them to gain valuable experiences that will ultimately enhance their employability.
