Course Description

Bachelor of EngineeringMechanical Common Year



?This programme provides a common entry year 1 to the following Level 7 programmes:

BEng in Mechanical Engineering

BEng in Mechanical Engineering and Renewable Energy

BEng in Mechatronics

It has been developed to give students sufficient time and experience to come to an informed choice as to which specific mechanical engineering programme they wish to follow.

This broad experience of some of the major areas in mechanical, renewable and mechatronics will better enable the students to carry on to Year 2, knowing they have an interest and aptitude for a particular field.

The Common Engineering Honours Entry Scheme is a one year programme for students interested in engineering as a career, but who may be unsure of which discipline to follow. While in first year, the student will be exposed to a learning environment that will allow the student to make informed choices about the next stage of their learning. The options available, are dependent on the aptitudes, interests and career opportunities in the different fields. The first year student can talk to lecturers and other students to determine the best approach for him or her in their career. This gathering of information is very useful for students who know they want to do engineering but are not fully decided on what stream is best suited to them. Opportunities in engineering are varied and can entail careers in design, manufacturing, research and development in diverse sectors such as automotive, healthcare, IT or medical devices. Engineering graduates are working in Intel, Medtronic and Boston Scientific to name but a few.
