The educational aims for this course collectively strive to develop independence, creative talent, as well as the capability for continuing professional growth and self-learning. This ensures that graduates are equipped with the appropriate knowledge and enterprising capabilities to practise engineering professionally, ethically and sustainably.

Thus, the course will:

  • aim to develop in learners a range of knowledge and skills to enable successful students to operate in their respective fields in industry as Engineering Technicians
  • the Fd(Eng) programme also aims to form a foundation on which learners may build on in order to progress to undergraduate level if desired, and attain IEng of CEng status
  • aim to develop in learners the transferable skills necessary to operate effectively in industry especially self-reliance, self-discipline and a capacity for collaboration with other members of a team
  • aim to develop in learners the analytical and research skills necessary for mechanical engineering design, the ability to interpret results of testing and computer-based engineering analysis and an ability to reflect upon the shortfalls
  • inherent in this will be an ability to competently use and apply computer aided engineering design techniques and to manage modern technology
  • aim to develop in learners the knowledge and critical understanding of the established principles in Mechanical Engineering and understanding of the limits of their knowledge
  • aim to develop in learners the ability to evaluate critically the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems and to apply these in a work context
  • aim to develop in learners the ability to apply their knowledge and skills to new situations, including in the workplace.
