About this course

Sheffield Hallam University validates the 1-year BEng (Hons) (Manufacturing) 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 manufacturing technologies.

  • Process optimization.

  • Quality management.

  • Supply chain integration.

  • Sustainable manufacturing practices.

    They apply theoretical knowledge to real-world manufacturing challenges through project-based learning, and practical experiments.

    Students will have an opportunity to work on CAD software, built models, 3D printers and Robotics to develop industrial knowledge and skills to implement and resolve complex industrial problems. Furthermore, the focus will be to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and systems.

    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: -

  • PLC kit

  • 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

  • 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:

  • Manufacturing Engineers

  • Manufacturing Product Engineer

  • Engineering Position

  • Work towards Chartered Engineer status

  • Manufacturing Engineering Management

  • Operations Management

    They could further their studies through postgraduate research and professional certifications enhancing career prospects.

    • Career Prospects
