## Overview

Learn about the design and manufacture of engineering machines and devices covering sectors such as automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, sustainable development, energy and biomedical development to name a few. This degree combines the technical engineering knowledge needed for the mechanical and manufacturing sectors and helps you build the personal attributes needed to thrive in your professional career.

All engineers strive to solve problems. How can I design it to work? How can I make it better? How can I reduce the impact on the environment? Engineers are problem solvers!

Mechanical engineers will use their knowledge of science, technology and mathematics to understand how mechanical and electrical systems work. They are trained in the application of science and mathematics to design new products or improve existing ones. Nothing moves without a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers will use computer aided design, computer modelling, and simulation to prove their designs before eventually committing to the manufacture of prototypes or market-ready products.

Selecting the most appropriate materials, ensuring failure is avoided, and designing for ease of manufacture are key aspects for any mechanical engineer to consider.

Manufacturing engineering concentrates on the processes and systems used to make physical products. There are many processes available to alter and change the shape and properties of feedstock materials to make finished products. Northern Ireland is home to some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities worldwide. However, manufacturing systems is the study of how to integrate all of these processes onto the factory floor to ensure an optimum outcome.

How can industry best arrange its manufacturing facility and personnel to ensure maximum productivity, quality, and value for money.

Mechanical and manufacturing engineers often work together to achieve the best outcomes. Well-rounded mechanical engineers will understand manufacturing and well-rounded manufacturing engineers will understand mechanical engineering. Hence, at Ulster University we have combined these closely related disciplines into one degree programme.

This degree programme is designed to open opportunities in both fields of mechanical and manufacturing engineering and ensures that candidates have an element of choice between sectors when graduating as engineers.

### Attendance

This full-time degree is designed to be undertaken over a 4-year period. Years 1 and 2 are undertaken in the academic environment of Ulster University’s Derry~Londonderry campus. Year 3 is to be undertaken off-site as either work placement (in industry) or as study abroad (in a partner University). Year 4, which is the final year, is a full academic term undertaken on the Derry~Londonderry campus.

The degree programme follows a semesterised approach with 2 semesters in each academic year. Semester 1 starts in September, semester 2 starts at the end of January. Students are required to attend university over any semester for a 12-week teaching block and are then required to make themselves available for a 3-week period for assessment or for any deferred learning activities due to unforeseen circumstances. Attendance to all timetabled activities and assessment sessions is mandatory.

Timetables for the 12-week teaching blocks are communicated at the commencement of each semester but are subject to change within the first 3 weeks. Assessment schedules are typically communicated early once the semester is underway. Detailed information of teaching and assessment delivery will be included in the module handbooks.

Prior to commencement of semester 1, a welcome week (including induction and orientation events) is held to support students with the transition into university. Attendance at induction is required.

### Start dates

* September 2027

### Teaching, Learning and Assessment

The programme is delivered through modules with specific credit value. Each academic year (years 1,2 and 4) requires the student to complete 120 credits in that given year. Typically, a single module delivered over a semester is worth 20 credits; therefore, it is typical to have 3 modules in a semester covering 60 credits per semester. There are exceptions to the credit value of the modules. In year 2 there are 2 shorter modules worth 10 credits each in semester 1.

In final year, the individual project module spans 2 semesters and is worth 40 credits. However, the balance of credits always adds up to 120 credits in any academic study year.

This module provides a practical, hands-on treatment of Computer Aided Engineering in the

context of application in design practice or a manufacturing company. It majors on the more

advanced part modelling techniques, assembly modelling, good modelling practice,

collaboration and interoperabilty, design documentation, surface modelling

rendering, mechanism simulation, and Finite Element Analysis. It involves the utilisation of an

integrated, state-of-the-art CAD suite along with the teaching of the general principles of

these technologies.

#### Mechanical Science III

This module will permit the student to develop their understanding in the scientific and mathematical principles that underpin three areas of mechanical sciences: Strength of Materials, Mechanical vibration theory and Heat transfer.

Formal lectures, directed reading exercises, tutorial sessions, laboratory experiments, informal class quizzes, and peer discussion groups will form the learning activities that will lead to the intended learning outcomes.

Learning outcomes shall be assessed by (x2) formal in-class test and (x2) group laboratory experiments which take place throughout the duration of the module.

### Optional Modules

Optional modules are reviewed on a Programme each year and we may change the options available to you, to reflect our staff expertise, changes in Programme requirements or to reflect feedback that we have received from other Students, employers or other interested parties.

If your Programme contains optional modules, you will be provided with a list of these in good time so that you can choose the options right for you each year. Sometimes, we may not be able to run a particular optional module because not enough Students sign up for it or because a member of staff is not available to teach a module.

Where this may be the case, we will let you know when you are provided with your option choices, and you will be able to choose an alternative if one of your selected modules does not run.
