工学（荣誉）机械与材料工程系

选修基础年，选修国外。材料科学家和工程师正在帮助解决世界在能源，运输和医疗保健方面面临的关键问题。我们的程序可让您了解材料的行为以及我们如何开发和使用它们来制造我们所体验的产品-从砖块到桥梁再到人体扫描仪。我们使用对原子和微观材料的理解来设计，例如，新型医疗植入物，新型合金和生产方法，以实现更高能效的发动机，以及更好的运动器材，使运动员能够安全地发挥最大水平。
Advanced materials are vital in modern engineering design. This Mechanical and Materials Engineering MEng degree meets the growing need for engineers who can design products making the best use of advanced materials. The design of any machine – from a skateboard to a jet engine – for optimal performance cannot be separated from the materials used to make it. This challenging Mechanical and Materials Engineering MEng programme combines the design skills of mechanical engineering with the in-depth knowledge of materials engineering, so that, on graduation, you are able to create innovative and cutting-edge designs, which make the best use of materials You will be taught by lecturers who are global experts in their field. enabling you to gain strong theoretical and practical skills in Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Our leading-edge teaching facilities and laboratories will enhance your learning experience, and your individual final-year project will provide you with vital employability skills that will give you a competitive edge in applications forms, interviews and assessment tests for graduate jobs.<br><br>The department has strong partnerships with key employers who provide projects and work placements for our students, allowing you to put all your skills into practice. At Birmingham, our staff and students work on a diverse range of research areas in the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, sport and sustainable development fields. As a student of Metallurgy at Birmingham, you will get a front-row seat to the latest developments in the field. There is an opportunity to apply for a year in industry during your degree, this usually occurs between year 2 and year 3. You will be helped by us to find suitable internships, and assisted and mentored by academic members of staff throughout your year in industry. A year in industry is an invaluable opportunity to take on a role within a company, apply the theoretical knowledge of your degree course to real-world issues and will enhance your career prospects.
