Course Overview
All students spend the first two years following the same core programme. This provides the fundamental knowledge and the intellectual and practical skills required by all mechanical engineers. It also includes developing your skills in workshop practice, and conducting your own -design, make and test- projects in both years. In year three you complete the core programme with two further modules (Machine system dynamics and Thermodynamics and energy), a literature review, and a major group -design, make and test- project. You can begin to specialise with optional modules from a wide range that cover both technical and non-technical subjects. You spend year four abroad, studying a programme that is equivalent to Imperial-s final year. The marks you achieve during this year will count directly towards your Imperial degree.
