BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's degree at the University of Lincoln

Delivers the concepts of structured computer programming and lab time is allocated for implementing these concepts. Students are provided with opportunities to plan, write, and debug their own computer programs.

All engineers must be familiar with design strategies, methods of assessing design proposals, approaches to reducing uncertainty, formal communication techniques, and the industrial and legal standards in which they fit. Mechanical and Electrical engineers will coalesce to form interdisciplinary groups who will produce an electro-mechanical design solution which meets a practical objective and considers the commercial, economic, social and environmental implications.

Provides a foundation in electrical engineering and electronics without being over complicated or cluttered with too-rigorous and exhaustive mathematical elements.

Divided into two topics: Statics and Mechanics - develops students' capacity to predict the effects of force and deformation in engineering design. Dynamics - gives students the opportunity to analyse and predict the motion of particles and bodies.

Introduces the fundamental properties of engineering materials through an understanding of the atomic and molecular interactions within the material. Students are introduced to the technology of manufacturing processes and how the selection of manufacturing processes are influenced by, and subsequently affect, material properties.

A good mathematical grounding is essential for all engineers. The theory developed in this module aims to underpin the other engineering modules studied at level one. Mathematical theory is taught by considering a real example, to present students the mathematical tools they might need for the science they follow. Solutions are considered by both analytical and numerical techniques.

Divided into two topics: Thermodynamics - deals with energy interactions in physical systems and studies the relationships between heat and work. Fluid Mechanics - concerned with the statics and dynamics of liquids and gases.

Applied Thermodynamics - builds upon the basic principles and applies this knowledge to real engineering problems. Heat Transfer - provides an introduction to the basic principles and practical applications of conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer.

Consolidates and builds on the ideas and skills introduced in level one. Students develop their ability to model dynamic systems with particular reference to vibration analysis in practical engineering applications.

Provides students with a firm grounding in Classical Control methods. Students are introduced to Control in relation to engineering systems and develop methods of modelling the control of processes. Techniques are explored with particular reference to common practical engineering problems and their solutions, and the application of SIMULINK in this process.

Gives students the opportunity to become more competent in calculations using a range of mathematical tools. The content builds upon that delivered in the first year, and extends analytical skills by introducing more advanced topics that may form part of the modern engineers skill set.

Students will be introduced to electrical machines and power systems and their practical applications, supported by practical analysis/synthesis methods. Students will further have the opportunity to explore a general methodology for the calculation of electromechanical energy conversion and appreciate the features and characteristics of different types of electromechanical machines and drives and their applications.

Provides an introduction to the subject of industrial engineering - a branch of engineering dealing with the optimisation of complex processes or systems. Topics include management science, cost and value engineering, business economics and finance, engineering management, supply chain management, operations research, health and safety engineering, operation management.

Aims to deepen students' understanding of engineering in practical applications. Students will investigate the design process for mechanical, electrical or control components/systems and undertake analysis of the same. A design challenge will address real-world challenges facing industry, allowing students to apply and extend their creative design skills.

Extends the ideas and skills introduced at Level 1. Students have the opportunity to learn how to carry out strength and deflection analyses for a variety of simple load cases and structures. Demonstrates the role of stress analysis and failure prediction in the design environment.

A work placement during an academic year, typically between Levels 2 and Level 3, though it may take place between levels 3 and 4 of an MEng programme. Aims to give students a continuous experience of full-time work within an organisation. Work placements enable students to experience at first hand the daily workings of an organisation while setting that experience in the broader context of their studies.

Provides an opportunity for students in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences to spend a year abroad at one of the University's partner institutions.
