Access Course for the MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Programme هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

This Access Course is for Honours students whose primary degree is not in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, but who wish to join the MEng in Mechanical & Manufacturing programme. It is a bridge between your existing knowledge and the knowledge you need to enter one of these courses.

Aims and Objectives:

• To provide relevant fundamental Mechanical and Manufacturing knowledge in preparation for the MEng programme.
• To be a skills conversion programme.

Programme Structure:

This programme consists of six modules that deal with Engineering Mathematics, Thermo-Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Mechanics of Machines and Manufacturing Processes. These are taken in conjunction with undergraduate programmes in the School. It aims at equalizing the student's knowledge to level 8 Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering by providing core Level 8 modules from existing undergraduate programmes.

The Access Course itself does not carry an award. The credits from the Access Course are not carried over to the MEng programme. The student must pass each module with a minimum mark of 50%. After successful completion of the Access Course the student is eligible for register for the MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering programme.

Why DCU?
