University guides confirm University of Sheffield as one of UK’s leading universities. The Virgin 2007 Alternative Guide to British Universities, for instance, says that “Sheffield is a top university across the board”. Teaching quality assessments rate its teaching very highly across a wide range of subjects, and official research
assessments confirm its reputation as a centre for worldclass research in many disciplines. Sheffield’s research partners and clients include Boeing, Rolls Royce, Unilever, Boots, AstraZeneca, GSK, ICI, Slazenger, and many more household names, as well as UK and overseas government agencies and charitable foundations.

Mechanical engineering is the most broadly based of all the engineering professions. Mechanical engineers are involved at some stage in the conception, design, production, finance and marketing of all manufactured goods, from the largest power station, space craft or car plant to the most delicate mechanisms required for scientific instruments, heart valves and micro-surgery. The course offered by The University of Sheffield reflects this wide range of activities and the department has received excellent ratings for teaching and research.

The University of Sheffield MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (1+3) provides a good grounding in mechanical engineering and you will become a highly numerate graduate with excellent problem solving and analytical skills. This is the most flexible of the courses and covers essential subjects required for a mechanical engineer, with emphasis on modelling and design. During the first five semesters, you will study a common core of mathematics, applied dynamics, mechanics of fluids, mechanics of solids, applied thermodynamics, mechanical behaviour of materials, and electrical and electronic engineering. You will also study computer controlled systems and mechatronics, which underlines the role of electronic instrumentation and computation in modern industrial systems.

The role of engineering in business and management will also be introduced. The final three semesters comprise an individual project as well as optional subjects which allow the students to pursue their individual interests.

Career Opportunities
Mechanical Engineering graduates from The University of Sheffield have excellent employment prospects in careers with favourable salaries as compared with other fields. Graduates are highly sought after by companies looking for high quality, competent mechanical engineers, and previous graduates have gone on to find employment in prestigious companies such as Rolls Royce, Ove Arup, Jaguar, Network Rail, Atkins and Deutsche Bank.

Many of graduates who pursue careers in industry will go into manufacturing, transport, power generation or engineering consultancies. Others go into research, management consultancies or the armed forces.
