Led by a dedicated teaching team with a wealth of experience, you’ll benefit from their insider-knowledge and the professional-network they bring with them. Our array of industry practitioners and working alumni will be involved in delivering guest lectures, masterclasses and workshops, site visits and where possible, contribute to the assessment of your work.During your three year degree programme, you'll learn hands-on practical skills to help you stand out to potential employers. You’ll get to grips with industry-standard equipment including in our computer aided design (CAD) suites, immersive virtual reality equipment and design studios ensuring upon graduation you are prepared for your exciting new career.
The aim of this module is to develop your skills in the mathematical principles and theories that underpin the engineering curriculum. You’ll be introduced to mathematical methods and statistical techniques in order to analyse and solve problems within an engineering context.
This module aims to develop an appreciation of the characteristics, properties, behaviour, and application of materials commonly used in design-based disciplines. You’ll be introduced to the relationship between the selection of materials for various projects and the properties impacting construction and performance in use.
This module aims to develop a structured approach to the analysis of basic electrical circuits and systems, electromagnetism, electrical machines, transformer, semiconductor devices and the basic digital circuits with a wide range of power sources.
This module introduces you to all the stages of the Computer Aided Design (CAD) process and to the process of modelling components using CAD (e.g.: ECAD and MCAD) software specifically suitable for transferring to ECAD/MCAD software.
This module aims to provide the knowledge and understanding of the various types of electrical, mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems and their analogies, integrations, and applications. This module also aims to derive mathematical model of electromechanical systems and analyse their static and dynamic behaviour using Simulation Software.
The aim of this module is to introduce the techniques and best practices required to successfully create and manage an engineering project designed to identify a solution to an engineering need. While carrying out this project you’ll consider the role and function of engineering in our society.
The aim of this module is to introduce you to the methodical steps that engineers use for product transition into production to create functional products; from a design brief to the work, and the stages involved in identifying and justifying a solution to a given engineering need.
The aim of this module is to introduce you to the essential mechanical principles, strength of materials and mechanics associated with engineering applications. In addition, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of undertaking experiments in a systematic manner.
This module aims to provide hands-on skills on design and fabrication to prepare you for contemporary industry and advanced engineering design and fabrication module at level 6 if you choose this option.
The aim of this module is to continue covering the topics discussed in “Strength of Materials and Mechanics.” It will provide you with advanced knowledge of the mechanical theories associated with engineering applications.
This module introduces you to the application of relevant Computer Aided Design (CAD), CFD, FEA and analysis engineering tools in contemporary engineering. You’ll learn about standards, regulations and legal compliance within the context of engineering.
The aim of this Module is to provide a rational understanding of functional thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in common industrial applications. The Module promotes a problem-based approach to solving realistic work-related quandaries such as steam plant efficiency and fluid flow capacities.
This module is designed to develop your understanding of the philosophies, strategies, techniques and applications of quality management in both the manufacturing and service industries. You’ll be introduced to the theories of marketing and finance functions of modern manufacturing companies through case studies.
This module will develop your understanding of the way in which design must be structured, analysed, controlled and assessed in order that functions can be achieved by manufacturing, assembling and maintaining in an efficient and economical way.
This module aims to develop your ability to assess a range of emerging and sustainable technologies to meet the net zero transitions across the energy, transport, water and waste. This module also aims to develop understanding of the three disciplines of sustainability: environmental, social and economic.
This module develops your ability to successfully undertake a project by illustrating the importance of analysis, creativity and innovation, planning, communication and self-discipline in the management and successful completion of a project. It is designed and developed to enable you to use planning and research tools.
