About masters in mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineering is involved in the building of everything from super small nanobots to massive factories, high-rise buildings and even satellite stations. To put it simply, mechanical engineers are responsible for building the world around us – they are the builders of all things!
Mechanical engineering will cover skills in computing, technology, mathematics and design, and the course is likely to include the chance to gain practical engineering experience via an internship or a year in industry. It is one of the broadest of the engineering disciplines and overlaps with other engineering fields such as civil engineering, aerospace engineering and electrical engineering.
To study a mechanical engineering masters you will need to have exceptional skills in maths and physics. It would also be beneficial to have proven skills in design technology and computing.
The two main types of masters degrees in this field are MEng (Master of Engineering) and MSc engineering programs – and both paths will enable you to become a qualified mechanical engineer.
The difference between an MEng and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering is that an MEng is a four-year integrated course completed at undergraduate level, whereas an MSc in Mechanical Engineering is a postgraduate program, usually completed after a BEng (Bachelor of Engineering). Each route takes four years to complete, and if the course includes a year in industry, it could take as long as five years in total to complete full time.
Study modules are likely to include structural materials; solid mechanics; thermodynamics; automotive engineering; biomedical engineering; and electronic systems.
Many mechanical engineering masters degrees will be accredited qualifications, providing students with officially recognised chartered engineer status. Accredited qualifications are recognised by the UK Engineering Council (ECUK) –- it’s important to check the course details to ensure that it is an accredited degree if this is what you need.
Why study a masters in mechanical engineering?
A masters degree in mechanical engineering will provide you with plenty of transferable skills including problem solving skills, critical thinking skills and communication skills.
This course will provide you with the correct qualifications and training to pursue a career as a mechanical or structural engineer, as well as prepare you for work in many other related fields such as manufacturing and production, renewable energy and sustainability.
