Curriculum
Course overview
This MRes programme aims to provide students with the necessary advanced, technical, professional and specialised study skills within the fields of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, and to develop a critical awareness of the advanced techniques and technological advances available to conduct state of the art research in this area.
Students then have the opportunity to explore these in either or both experiment and modelling oriented projects, and complete studying the course by analysing and interpreting the research results and writing up a dissertation that is to be examined according to the established procedure in the University of Nottingham.
By taking a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching and learning the subject, the course aims to help greater understanding of the subject and the ability to apply it in industrial practices or further studies.
The specific objectives are as follows:
- to encourage integration between the separate disciplinary areas.
- to propel the development of new ideas and techniques in Mechanical, Manufacturing and Composite Materials commercially-based engineering.
- to develop the students' transferable skills in research methods at the postgraduate level.
- to facilitate an in-depth investigation of a relevant topic through independent research.
Depending on the availability of teaching resources and demands in future, this MRes programme may introduce optional modules to reflect the progress and state of the art advances in Mechanical/Materials areas such as advanced CFD, advanced FE analysis and the updated knowledge of viscous flow and heat transfer, vibration dynamics together with advanced manufacturing technologies, advanced production and assembly system and composite materials.
Course structure
Part I: Compulsory Modules (Total 60 credits)
These credits can be accumulated from courses offered from within the Research Training Programme run by the Graduate School or other units offering generic training within the University, or from within any other generic training courses run within individual Schools. The generic courses will be selected in consultation with the supervisor(s) and should be cognate with the student's research topic. The selection of these modules is at the discretion of the student's School. Guidance on the appropriateness of the content of modules is available from the Graduate School and Supervisors.
Part II: Dissertation (Total 120 credits)
A full year of research in a sub-area of the course in a team environment, followed by submission of a dissertation to be assessed by two examiners. The supervision team include usually has two supervisors who will advise the research topic and programme.
