How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. This course is designed for you to gain experience as a ‘professional engineer from day one’ where you will develop technical and professional skills from the start. You’ll learn through: Lectures: students-centred sessions and digital use of lectures emphasising peer collaboration.Tutorials: where you practise and apply your knowledge.Laboratories and workshops: to gain hands-on practical experience.Computer sessions: solve problems using industry-standard software.Project-based learning: where you will apply your knowledge, creativity, problem-solving, critical analysis and professional skills in real-world projects.Q&A and discussions: for self-assessment and understanding.Support sessions: where you receive advice and feedback.Group work activities: solve problems and collaborate with your coursemates.


Key Themes

Laboratories are a fundamental part of the General Engineering course, designed to develop and reinforce your learning of theoretical concepts applied by observing, recording, and analysing experimental results. The course will ensure you develop highly professional skills and knowledge of engineering that will enable you to be employed. In such a competitive and challenging world, knowledge, skills, and expertise in engineering are invaluable. During the first year, you will study engineering in a multidisciplinary context. You will cover the fundamental principles, skills, and knowledge of engineering sciences such as mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and computational techniques in solving engineering problems. In the second year, you will study a 20-credit module focusing on electrical engineering besides the engineering science to maintain the general engineering discipline. Finally, in the third year, you will study a 40-credit mechanical engineering module besides other relevant engineering discipline modules leading to an industrial-based independent project. The Independent project will consolidate the specialism of your pathway
