课程特征 Course Features：
The primary aim of this programme is to create master’s degree graduates with qualities and transferable skills for demanding employment in the engineering sector. The graduates will have the independent learning ability required for continuing professional development and acquiring new skills at the highest level. Specific aims are as follows:
•To provide education at postgraduate level in mechanical engineering that will enable graduates to proceed to Chartered Engineer status.
•To develop the versatility and depth to deal with new and unusual challenges across a range of engineering areas.
•To develop imagination and creativity to enable graduates to follow a successful engineering career with national and international companies and organisations.
Advanced Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE). This will provide a route to Chartered Engineer status in the UK.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Students will have the option to choose two streams: Solid Body Mechanics or Thermofluids. During the first two terms (September - March) they will take eight modules out of which:
•four are the same for both streams (core modules - 15 credits each);
•the other four (15 credits each) are different for the two streams.
In May the final examinations for the taught modules will take place and in their third term (June - September) students will complete the final dissertation.
Modules
Strategic Management and Enterprise
Prepares graduate engineers to perform the managerial and business functions expected of staff in first level management positions in engineering organisations.
Research Methodology and Innovation
Enables students to carry out research using appropriate research methods, including underlying notions of enquiry, from a theoretical and practical perspective.
Advanced Modelling and Design
Provides students with the ability to employ advanced numerical models for the analysis of complex engineering problems.
Advanced Computer Aided Engineering
Shows how the entities points, edges, surfaces and solids are modelled for CAE and how to use their implementation on contemporary CAE software to create the computer model of a part or assembly.
Representation and manipulation of the entities points, lines and curves, surfaces and solids (components and assemblies) for use in CAD/CAM applications, with a hands on training in a contemporary CAE system.
•Analysing the motion aspects (position, velocity and acceleration) and force aspects of connected links or chains used in products (Dynamics).
•The use of a CAE package for analysing mechanisms.
•Basics of NC manufacturing and the use of a contemporary CAE package for generating NC codes.
•Principles of Rapid Prototyping (RP) and the use of a RP system and a contemporary CAD software
