MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering Why choose Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough? Our engineering courses are essential to all industrial sectors in the UK and around the world. Emphasis is placed on including direct involvement of engineers from industry incorporating the latest technologies and ideas to ensure that our courses are always industrially relevant and up-to-date. This links deeply into the opportunity for training placements during every course, allowing all students to maximise their educational and professional experiences.
Professional recognition All courses are fully accredited by one or more of the following UK Engineering Council licensed awarding bodies: Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). This provides all students with the opportunity to define a professional career route after graduation.
Placement year and study abroad We send 15% more students on engineering placements than any other UK university (HESA, 2016/17: Engineering and Technology). The School is notified of vacancies and opportunities throughout the academic year, providing help and support in gaining a suitable placement. Some of our courses provide opportunity for students to study abroad in their third or final academic year. If suitable for international study, this will lead to the award of a Diploma in International Studies (DIntS).
Facilities There are laboratories for disciplines such as additive manufacturing, communications, control, design, electronics, IC engines, manufacturing technologies, materials, mechatronics, metrology, optical engineering, programming, robotics, structural integrity, tribology, and many others. Our CNC machine tool facilities, electronics workshops, and manufacturing facilities are managed by skilled technical staff who will work closely with you to develop ideas and support project work.
Scholarships We are a member of the IET’s Power Academy and the UK Electronics Skills Foundation, both engineering related scholarship funds supporting undergraduate students in electrical, electronic and power engineering.
