About this course
Sheffield Hallam University validates the 1-year BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree course. It provides students with the opportunity to develop and enhance their knowledge and practical skills required to pursue a career in their chosen engineering discipline within the industry.
Our approach offers a combination of online/ distance learning for independent engineering project supervision (industrial project) and a weekly day attendance for the more rigorous academic topics, ideal for those balancing their studies alongside professional and personal commitments.
The program complies with the Institution of Engineering and Technology awarding body’s accreditation criteria. Thus, provides the students with an all-around knowledge of the subject and an improved opportunity to develop towards charted status and future career development. The course emphasizes the application of cutting-edge topics such as advanced mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, and advanced engineering modelling techniques to real-world problems, incorporating sustainable, environmental, and ethical implications, equipping students with the ability to design, analyse, and implement either electrical and electronic, mechanical, or manufacturing solutions to complex problems.
Additionally, students explore emerging technologies and industrial trends, ensuring they are well-prepared to adapt to the rapidly evolving technologies within engineering.
With many practical and hands-on learning experiences, incorporated within the academic delivery, including experimental and advanced software analysis systems, involving laboratory equipment: -
- Control systems equipment and controllers
- VR studio (in development)
- SolidWorks (Electrical/Mechanical)
- Metrology equipment and preparing samples
- Robotic systems -turtle bot waffle3
- Raspberry Pie
- 3D Printers
- ANSYS Research Licences includes, FEA, CFD etc.
- Ansys Electrical, Electronics and Electromagnetics
- SolidWorks
- MATLAB
- Simulink with multiple applications for 90 students
Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and qualifications necessary to pursue a wide range of career opportunities within the field of engineering :
- Design Engineers
- Mechanical Product Engineer
- Engineering position
- Work towards chartered engineer status
- Engineering Management
- Analytical mechanical systems and products engineer
They could further their studies through postgraduate research and professional certifications enhancing career prospects.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
