This degree combines a broad education in engineering, engineering management and business, equipping you with the analytical tools and techniques to understand the processes and technologies required across the engineering sector. Essentially an engineering programme with a business theme, it will give you the general scientific, mathematical and technical skills required not only to understand engineering designs and systems, but also to develop key management skills, business model development and entrepreneurship, alongside financial management, accounting and project management. Practical projects will enhance formal systems thinking and an optional placement year in industry will boost your practical engineering knowledge and employability. Integral to the programme are elements of computer science, embedded systems, digital electronics, data analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensor systems and robotics as well as other topics studied across all programmes, such as employability skills. Optional modules can be taken from all Brunel’s engineering departments giving you the chance to gain additional expertise in civil, mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering.
