Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H305

Here's what University of Wolverhampton says about its Mechanical Engineering with Sandwich Placement course.

The Mechanical Engineering course provides a comprehensive engineering education covering design, engineering mathematics and its application, the core concepts of mechanics, thermodynamics, structural dynamics, materials and the behaviour of fluids. As you progress through the course, you will also cover the principles of control systems, advanced materials and manufacturing processes including Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM)/ 3D-printing of plastics and metals. You will use computer aided modelling, design and analysis software to validate product designs. Analysing the performance of materials and structures under in-service conditions through the use of finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics is one highlight of the course. Accordingly, you will have the ability to use industry level FEA packages to analyse the performance of various engineering components.
