BENG (HONS) Mechanical Engineering

Why Mechanical Engineering at ARU?

  • Develop the knowledge and skills you need to resolve practical, real-world challenges, and practice the ‘art of precision guesswork’ and problem solving.
  • Study in our state-of-the-art facilities including 3D printing, CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing) laboratories, and CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining.
  • Explore modules in areas including materials, design and modelling, manufacturing, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, as well as project-based learning.
  • Engage in ‘Live Briefs’ with local industry partners, giving you exposure to ‘real life’ engineering problem solving.
  • A diverse breadth of expert staff with a wide range of industrial and academic backgrounds make learning more real, hands-on and relevant.

 

Get involved in hands-on projects with other engineering?students, developing your teamwork and leadership skills while learning how to analyse and solve problems creatively. This course is to give you real world experience, preparing you for employment.

 

At ARU, we have embraced the challenge to introduce 50% of our engineering curriculum based on developing practical and applied skills among our engineering cohorts. Our engineering curriculum at ARU offers unique project-based curriculum at each level, in which students are offered industry led “Live Briefs” applying fundamental science and engineering principles to propose a solution. Through these collaborative modules and the course you will get the opportunity to work with companies from industry such as BAE systems. Ford Motor Company, New Hollands, Antobot and Tecosim.
