Mechanical Engineering (systems) in Canterbury Christ Church University

Mechanical engineers’ contribution to our world is all around us. From the chairs we sit on, the clothes we wear, to utilities to make our environment safe and healthy.

We offer a unique learning opportunity as not only has the course been co-designed with local industry, during the course you will have the opportunity to solve problems provided by local industry. Working with your peers and other fields of engineering, you will apply the course theoretical learning to solve industry supplied work related problems, such as using Industry 4.0 technology to manufacture modular homes. You will conceive ideas to solve the problem(s), design your solution, implement your solution and test/observe your solution using the pioneering CDIO approach.

Why Study Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical (Systems) Engineers contribute to a wide variety of industry by developing integrated mechanical, mechatronic and computer technology to produce effective system solutions to problems. For example, systems engineers at an alternative energy organisation would work with all stakeholders to ensure a wind farm is located in the right geographic location, taking into account geology and the impact on communities and the environment. They would also consider how easily it can be integrated into the national grid, maintenance and economic impact.

What will i study?

The three-year BEng will unlock your full potential as a creative problem solver. Our hands-on, practical problem solving approach makes up 40-60% of each year of study so you can be a confident, work-ready engineer by the time you graduate. On completion of the BEng, you will be on track to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

The four-year MEng course will advance your engineering talent even further and develop your leadership and management skills. On completion of the MEng you will be on track to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

We are one of only a handful of universities in the UK to offer the CDIO international engineering education model, developed by MIT, which allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find solutions to industry related engineering challenges.

Our Mechanical Engineering degrees have a common Year 1 (Level 4) with biomedical engineering and product design engineering degrees. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of engineering science, maths, physics and chemistry, and computer programming. You will gain hands-on learning experiences in the engineering workshops, engineering laboratories and makerspace. 

On all Mechanical Engineering degrees, you will develop your learning through active learning laboratories, engineering laboratories and the use of engineering workshops, makerspace using equipment akin to industrial practice. You will undertake small group projects, typically sourced from industry.

On all Mechanical Engineering degrees, at every level, you will undertake a large group project typically, where possible, sourced from industry. At each level these large group projects will provide you with the opportunity to develop your learning in engineering business, practice, and project management.
