Further develop your ability to apply a socially aware, responsible and consistent approach to design, manufacturing and organisation – essential for professional engineers - and meet the academic criteria you need to progress to Chartered Engineer status. Throughout your studies you’ll apply modern computer-aided engineering techniques to the manufacturing industry, studying modules designed to improve your analysis and problem-solving capabilities - and in your final year, you’ll take part in student-led project and individual projects to put all of your new skills into real-world application. You’ll graduate thoroughly prepared to take on the engineering industry.

• Engineering at UCLan is ranked in the UK's top 20 according to the Complete University Guide 2020
• Our close links with industry mean everything you learn reflects current best practice, especially as you’ll be taught by staff with successful careers in the aerospace and automotive industries.
• Benefit from our new £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre (EIC), located at the centre of one of the most intense engineering and manufacturing areas in the UK.
• The quality of these courses has been recognised with accreditation by the Institute of Engineering Designers (IED) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

FURTHER INFORMATION

The course is intended to provide the opportunity to gain a degree and additional valuable experience to enable graduates to have a good chance of entering the motor sports industry. It has been developed as a direct result of the need for professionals within the motor sports industry and satisfies the requirements of an Engineering Council Institution.

The MEng is a four year course (five year if on Foundation entry), plus an extra year if an industrial placement is included. Satisfactory completion of an industrial placement leads to the award: MEng (Honours) CAE with Industrial Placement.

Studies provide the core knowledge and skills essential to a thorough understanding of engineering processes and include: manufacturing engineering; electronics; mechanics; engineering drawing; and analytical methods. Subsequently, competence is further developed by taking more specialised CAE modules in computer-aided design, finite element analysis and simulation. Final year projects encourage detailed exploration of your own specific areas of interest.

Our close links with industry mean everything you’ll learn reflects current best practice - especially as you’ll be taught by staff with successful careers in the aerospace and automotive industries.

Areas of Expertise include:

Engineering Design & Manufacture, 2D & 3D CAD/Drafting with AutoCAD - CAD/CAM with Alphacam, 3D CAD Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, 3D Studio Max, Engineering Simulation - FEA, Motion Analysis, Fluid Dynamics, Advanced Composites Design and Manufacture, Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Materials Technology.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND ASSESSMENT

A 3 year degree qualification typically comprises 360 credits and each 20 credit (a standard module) equates to 200 hours of study, which comprises of a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions and independent study. Independent study is an important aspect of your degree course. The exact combination of study time will be detailed within your module descriptors, and will depend on your option choices.

We use lectures and applications based learning through assignments and design briefs. You will use a substantial student workshop for the module in manufacturing as well as traditional lecture rooms for other modules. In recent years, the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences has moved into a brand new building with impressive computer facilities and specialist labs.

You’ll have the opportunity to join the Innovation Club and work with a diverse group of students and staff on innovative projects.

Assessment is done using formal examinations and coursework. As the course progresses less emphasis is given to assessment by examination and more to coursework.

INDUSTRY LINKS

The quality of this course has been recognised with accreditation to Chartered Engineer status by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION

This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Engineering Design, for fully meeting education requirement for Chartered Engineer status (CEng).

OPPORTUNITIES

On successful completion of this programme, you will be eligible to apply for progression to postgraduate studies.

A first or second class honours degree in Computer Aided Engineering will allow proceeding to master studies. Students may apply to suitable masters in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, product design or management.

A third class honour degree in Computer Aided Engineering will allow proceeding to further to postgraduate studies.

Graduates in CAE pursue careers in a wide range of industries including aerospace, marine, nuclear and petrochemical. Their roles are usually in design, manufacturing or production.

Engineering graduates are in greater demand than ever, which means the options for you are rich and endless, including careers in aerospace, the automotive industry, the Ministry of Defence and research development.

Put simply, engineers are concerned with the conversion of natural resources into valuable products and services that benefit us all. Those choosing a career in engineering can be confident that their skills will always be in demand.Those with specific knowledge of Computer-Aided Engineering will also have the ability to exploit the advantages of new technologies to extend their engineering expertise.

This degree course provides a programme of study containing modern computer-aided engineering techniques that are applied within manufacturing industry. These include computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacture and computer-aided production management.
