Overview

Mechanical Engineering (Foundation Degree) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Mechanical Engineering splits the week between lectures, laboratory work and design sessions, and ends in an individual or group project.
