课程特征 Course Features：
This course aims provide advanced knowledge of mechanical engineering over a broad range of specialist subjects and awareness of the context in which mechanical engineering operates, in terms of safety, environmental, social and economic aspects.
The course will provide the opportunity for graduate mechanical engineers to enhance their knowledge across a spectrum of important topics. It will allow participants to further their understanding of traditional mechanical engineering subjects whilst expanding the boundaries of their expertise into areas that reflect Cardiff School of Engineering’s specialist research interests.
课程内容 Course Content ：
The first two semesters comprise predominantly taught material at Master’s level, taking students from typical graduate standard at entry, to a contemporary research base level. The third session involves students undertaking a research project and completing a dissertation in the field of Advanced Mechanical Engineering. Areas that are covered by this course include:
Tribology
Control engineering
Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Energy Management
Quality and Reliability engineering
Nano-mechanics
Robotics
Artificial Intelligence
Risk and Hazard Management
Condition Monitoring
职业前景 Career Prospects：
A close involvement with industry ensures that research has both relevance and meaning, working with some of the world’s most renowned engineering companies. Partners include Airbus, BAe Systems, Bosch, Tata Steel, Daimler, EADS, Fiat, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Messier-Dowty, Mitutoyo, Network Rail TWI, Parametric Technology, Physical Acoustics, Renault, Rolls-Royce, SAP, Siemens, Silicon Graphics, Stile Bertone, The Highways Agency, TRL, Microchip, and WS Atkins.
The programme will prepare students for entry into a research-based or engineering-based career. In addition to technical skills, students will acquire professional skills such as how to effectively communicate to technical, management and non-technical audiences, project planning, evaluation and prioritisation.
