Joining our Mechanical Engineering degree, you can expect to manipulate materials, learn the basics of automation, and design and innovate your way out of complex engineering briefs. You won’t be working with hypotheticals here, but practically applied and tested solutions that would suit the real world – not just university assessments. So, if you’re creative, scientifically-minded and looking to shape the world, then your future in mechanical engineering awaits. Key topics include:   • Materials Engineering • Energy Production and Storage Transfer • Electronics and Microcontroller Programming • Autonomous Systems • Computer Programming for Engineers • Managing New Product Development* Student Story: SamRoskell “I love finding out how things work. I studied product design at school and then worked at a mechanical engineering firm— there was never going to be another course for me,” says BEng (hons) Mechanical Engineering student, Sam Roskell. “Harper’s high graduate employment statistics confirmed my choice of university – that told me that Harper was doing placements right and with its industry-leading reputation, it was the best place for me to study. “The lecturers are great too, having actually worked in industry and having insider knowledge that gives us a real insight into the sector we want to go into. “It’s all very hands-on in every situation and theories are applied and demonstrated in class with the machinery and equipment that we have on-site.” (*MEng only) 58 | UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2024
