BEng Mechanical Engineering with Enterprise Development
About this course
BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Enterprise Development, a part-time undergraduate degree combining mechanical engineering and business principles across six years of study. Core topics include Programming, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Project Management, Marketing, Engineering Design, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Design & Creative Practice. The curriculum culminates in a final-year project and features an industrially generated major design project in the fifth year. The first year covers foundational mathematics and programmable controller systems, followed in the second year by modules in the global business environment and manufacturing processes. Year three introduces organisations and management, professional development, and design and CAD, while year four focuses on the engineering of control systems and signals, materials and sustainability, design and CAE I, and manufacturing technology. Year five advances into digital transformation, global strategy and management, engineering design, and design and CAE II. The final year concludes with managing the digital enterprise, managing innovation in enterprises, and the final year project.
