Manufacturing Engineering (Part II course)

专业详情

Successful, value-creating industries are increasingly managed by engineers with an appropriately broad education and training. Manufacturing engineers naturally have particular expertise in the design and operation of manufacturing facilities, but increasingly their role is as leaders of multidisciplinary teams. The course places emphasis on the latest developments in data science and sustainability to address some of the major challenges facing society.

Manufacturing Engineering gives you a thorough grounding in manufacturing technology and management, together with an understanding of the full range of activities involved from market analysis through product design and production, to sales and distribution, all set firmly within a financial and business context. As well as the engineering and business sides, you also acquire a sound understanding of the human aspects of industry and develop leadership and people skills.

An industrial and international emphasis

Manufacturing Engineering students visit UK factories in their third year, covering a variety of industrial sectors. You will observe activities at each site and discuss findings as a group and with representatives of the firm, to support the learning outcomes from lectures. In your fourth year, you will carry out three different industrial projects (two in teams, one as an individual). These are based in industry, where you can apply the taught content to bring it to life and tackle real challenges faced by the partner firms, while being supported through industrial and academic supervisors.
