Description

Engineers of the future will need to be highly creative individuals who are able to deliver new, sustainable and environmentally sensitive technologies and products to society. The BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course is organised around core discipline areas and is designed to provide undergraduate engineers with all the skills and creativity the will need to meet the great engineering challenges of the 21st Century.

The course has been designed to equip students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to become a capable practising professional in a wide range of industrial, commercial and creative arenas.

Through a combination of common core modules and specialised electives, the course is structured to equip our graduates with the tools necessary to address the challenges they will face in a wide variety of career paths through exploration of areas such as electronic and electrical, control and systems and mechanical and materials engineering.

As students progress through the course, they will link these disciplines in an integrated and systematic manner, and demonstrate the ability to apply their skills on real-life engineering challenges in an innovative, critical and professional way.

Is This Course Right For Me?

The course will combine a challenging programme of academic study with opportunities to develop the personal skills that are required to become a successful engineer.

The BEng degrees are taught using an innovative block delivery architecture, which makes them suitable for attendance by part-time students.

How You Study

Every course involves a mixture of lectures, laboratory and practical sessions and seminar work in the new purpose built Engineering Hub.

How You Are Assessed

Coursework assignments are used in a number of modules where students are required to work on their own or in small groups. They are designed to enable students to develop and show their understanding of the module content. Oral and poster presentations are often included as part of coursework to provide opportunities for developing essential communication skills.

An individual project is completed in the final year of the degree course, providing an excellent opportunity for the student to pull together every aspect of their development during the course.

Interviews & Applicant Days

Students may be invited to attend a selection interview. If we offer students a place on the degree, they will also be invited to apply for the partner employer student scheme, which includes sponsorship of individual students.

What We Look For In Your Application

Students' personal statements should explain why they are interested in engineering. We also need evidence of qualifications and a positive attitude to study. They should also tell us about their extracurricular activities.

The service works closely with local, national and international employers, acting as a gateway to the business world. It advertises a range of graduate positions around the country.

Special Features & Research Highlights

Siemens provide a limited number of industrial sponsorship opportunities and summer work placements. Siemens are offering a bursary scheme to help with living costs and tuition fees.

Student as Producer

Student as Producer is a development of the University of Lincoln's policy of research-informed teaching to research-engaged teaching. Research-engaged teaching involves more research and research-like activities at the core of the undergraduate curriculum. A significant amount of teaching at the University of Lincoln is already research-engaged.

Student as Producer will make research-engaged teaching an institutional priority, across all colleges and subject areas. In this way students become part of the academic project of the University and collaborators with academics in the production of knowledge and meaning. Research-engaged teaching is grounded in the intellectual history and tradition of the modern university.

Facilities

In 2009, the University of Lincoln, in collaboration with Siemens, founded the first new School of Engineering in the UK for more than 20 years.

The School is based in the Engineering Hub on the Brayford Pool campus, where students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities.

Requirements

Students will need:

280 points for 2013 entry, from a minimum of two A levels including a minimum B grade in mathematics plus a physical science (general studies and critical thinking are not accepted). Equivalent qualifications (e.g. HND or BTEC in Engineering) are also accepted.

The Advanced Diploma in Engineering is accepted. Students must have a minimum B grade in A Level Maths as the ASL subject.

Students will need to have five GCSEs at grade C or above, including English Language and Mathematics.

Although not part of the entry requirements we would recommend that students study mechanical maths as part of their course.

Work Experience

No work experience is required.
