BEng Mechanical Engineering With Foundation Year

The BEng Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year at the University of Hull is a four-year degree designed for students who want to study engineering but need extra preparation before degree-level study. The Foundation Year helps students gain the required knowledge in maths, physics, and basic engineering ideas. This helps students gain confidence and knowledge before moving into the main degree. After the Foundation Year, students progress into the standard BEng Mechanical Engineering course. The degree focuses on how machines, systems, and mechanical processes are designed, built, and improved. Students learn how engineering supports areas such as manufacturing, energy, transport, and sustainability.

The BEng Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year in the University of Hull focuses on how machines, systems and mechanical processes are designed, built and improved. Students learn how engineering supports areas such as manufacturing, energy, transport, and sustainability. Mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, fluid flow, and control systems are among the fundamental mechanical engineering subjects covered in the course. Additionally, students learn how to use industry-standard engineering software and tools. Students are taught using Lectures, hands-on lab sessions, workshops, and supervised individual study.  Assessment is carried out through written tests, assignments, lab reports, design projects, and presentations.
