PROGRAMME
OVERVIEW
University of Glasgow
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Design Engineering
Mechanical Design Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. It integrates the understanding of core mechanicals and materials with the design process facilitated by the knowledge of manufacturing technologies and engineering principles. It involves the production and usage of mechanical power for the design and development of tools, machines or structures comprising moving parts that work together to make life easier. Mechanical Design Engineering makes the world go round, with applications for almost everything from taps to dams, bicycles to aircraft.
This degree programme seeks to meet the industrial challenges and demands by producing innovative engineers with the capabilities and aptitude for the design of engineering products. Students will learn to manipulate the core concepts of mechanics, kinematics, thermal and materials sciences. They will also learn structural analysis to design and analyse systems, equipment and machinery in key industries such as aerospace, maritime, robotics and healthcare.
Mechanical Design Engineers are essential for the design and development of mechanisms, components and structures which are integral parts of automotive, marine, aerospace, biomedical, chemical, construction, environmental, and power-generation industries, among others.

• SIT3002 - Design and Manufacture 3N
This project based course introduces the student to a range of modern methods and techniques supporting industrial product design activity with particular emphasis on innovative conceptual design generation, human factors, environmental design and product architecture. 3D solid modelling CAD skills are developed throughout the project activity.
• SIT3003 - Design and Manufacture 3G
This project based course introduces the student to a range of modern methods and techniques supporting industrial product design activity. 3D solid modelling CAD skills are developed throughout the project activity. Singapore students undertake this course during a four week study period at the University of Glasgow.
• SIT3004 - Dynamics and Control 3N
Dynamics: gives the student a thorough grounding in the modelling of mechanical systems, the solution of the resulting differential equations and the application to simple vibration problems. Control: understand and analyse simple feedback control systems.
• SIT3006 - Engineering Design M3N
To develop the students understanding of Availability, Reliability, Maintainability thereby enhancing the students’ ability to evaluate design proposals from a number of related viewpoints. To illustrate and develop an understanding of robust design from functional performance and manufacture viewpoints. To expose students to the discipline involved in researching a technical area and produce a report and presentation.
• SIT3007 - Heat Transfer M3
Basic understanding of the various mechanisms of heat transfer. The course will also provide the student with an understanding of heat exchangers and how such items of equipment are designed.
• SIT3008 - Materials and Manufacture 3N
Detailed properties of metals and plastic and their selection methods for products, the joining of metallic and non-metallic materials including welding and adhesive bonding, and forming processes for metals, polymers and composites.
• SIT3009 - Mathematical Modelling and Simulation 3N
This project based course introduces the student to a range of modern methods and techniques supporting industrial product design activity. 3D solid modelling CAD skills are developed throughout the project activity.
• SIT3010 - Mechanics of Materials and Structures 3N
To equip students to perform deformation analyses of linear elastic skeletal structures by mathematical modelling and appropriate manual and computational methods, in particular, finite element analysis (FEA).
• SIT3024 - Insturmentation and Data Systems 3N
Theory, design and implementation of instrumentation and measurement systems as employed in an engineering context. Particular focus is given to signal acquisition and processing techniques.
Year 2
• SIT3013 - Software Engineering 3N
Understand the nature and problems of software and the need for software engineering. Develop familiarity with selected software engineering processes and techniques. Explore the relationship between software engineering and more traditional engineering disciplines
• SIT4002 - Advanced Materials Technology 4N
Developments in metals and polymers; Design and manufacturing of polymeric composites; Stress analysis of composites; Advances in adhesive bonding and surface engineering; Sandwich constructions; Ceramics- properties, processes and reliability.
• SIT4006 - Microelectronics in Consumer Products 4N
To illustrate how the design of consumer products is being rapidly changed by the introduction of inexpensive programmable microelectronics technology. In addition, to engender a basic understanding of microprocessor operation.
The individual project is an extended piece of work that provides the opportunity to show enthusiasm and initiative in attaining a specified goal. It is designed to develop the student’s ability to understand the field of the investigation, to select and justify the methodology adopted, to apply the methodology, to represent their results or findings accurately, and to understand and present the significance of the results or findings. In the case of the MDE project, this will be mechanical design and manufacture driven, following a generic design process. In the case of MT, it includes software, simulations, and often some form of mechanical or process application.
• SIT5001 - Professional Design 5N
Introduces the concepts of entrepreneurial planning through understanding and practice in the use of developing a business plan.
Choose 40 Credits from:
Applies classical control theory to a range of different types of system. It includes the classic types of controller such as proportional–integral–differential (PID), simple compensators and the use of Nyquist and Bode plots. The state space representation is introduced and used to assess stability.
• SIT4005 - Mechanics of Solids and Structure 4N
Brief revision of beam theory: shear force, bending moment and influence line diagrams, the governing differential equation (moment-curvature equation) for a beam in uniform bending. Introduction to variational methods, the principle of virtual displacements (PVD).
To provide an introduction to robots. Introduce the types of sensors and actuators that are commonly used in robotics. Develop an appreciation of the application issues concerning sensors and actuators within the context of robot applications. Develop the mathematics required to locate the position of a robot head and use this to plan and control its trajectory.
