Mechanical Engineering (Modelling)

Introduction

The MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Modelling) offers a set of excellent curricula in highly sought-after engineering and scientific subjects. Computational modelling has become an essential part of mechanical engineering at the level of industrial product development, and the manufacturing sector in particular has been experiencing a significant uptake of computational engineering technologies to increase its competitiveness in the global market. This programme is designed for engineering and science graduates, providing a wide exploration of these new and advanced technologies.

On this MSc programme, students will explore the design, development, and application of computational systems for the solution of physical problems in engineering and science. They will formulate and model real-world problems, and then develop methods to solve these problems using computer technology. Here at Aston University, our aim is to develop the computing skills required in a modern engineering environment - for example, design, performance simulation and optimisation. Particular emphasis is placed on enabling students to develop predictive models in the most demanding engineering areas where experiments are not feasible or too expensive. A wide range of state-of-the-art modelling technologies will be covered in this MSc programme. The dissertation project will provide an opportunity for students to employ these modelling methods in industrially-based products or systems.
