Build on your engineering expertise and use your knowledge to understand your clients' challenges before developing innovative solutions. Become a leader in your field Building innovative sustainable solutions to today's problems requires leaders who can understand and apply the skills of diverse teams. On this course, you’ll build on your current engineering experience to look at problems as systems of unknown dependencies. By studying the current approaches, and doing your own research, you’ll learn to handle complex engineering problems that require you to build and manage potential solutions. As part of this course, you’ll: Study the core engineering fields of control and simulation to understand, predict, and manage the behaviour of complex systems Learn to apply solutions to complex problems in the context of modern engineering design, lean and agile production, and highly automated systems Study management and research modules alongside engineering modules to build your skills in project management and independent research Together, these skills will give you the ability to take your current engineering knowledge in new directions. On this course, you’ll: Develop innovative sustainable products that address global problems Use simulated automation and management systems to analyse problems and test your solutions Build on your own research to investigate, build, or apply engineering knowledge to problems in your own area Industry standard, flexible learning This course offers flexible learning with a choice of two start dates. You’ll take the same modules, but the order will depend on which semester you choose to start. Whichever semester you start in, you’ll have access to: Industry standard software for simulation, modelling and analysis. This will include FlexSim, Ansys, Matlab, Autodesk CAD/CAM tools and SolidWorks A workshop including rapid prototyping machines, including laser cutters and 3D-printers Specialist labs for programmable logic controllers (PLC) and programmable automation controllers (PAC) design and automation. This will include model factory layout for process optimisation and links to our in-house cloud computing stack Full access to electronic and electrical engineering labs to prototype, build and test your own solutions Study and network in a vibrant city Leeds is also a great city to build your professional contacts, with links to many companies in the digital, broadcast, software and manufacturing sectors. Many events from the major UK engineering institutions are hosted here, including our own professional body the IET. These events provide an excellent opportunity to build your network of contacts.
In this module you develop the skills required to initiate, plan, execute, manage and sign off a project. You will focus on appropriate methodologies, standards, legislation and the nine core knowledge areas associated with project management.
This module covers environmental issues such as recyclable material selection, design for minimum power used in process, minimum material required (FEA), design for manufacture and assembly.
In this module you will study real time control issues using the latest PLC controls and emulation software. You will conduct remote monitoring using Web enabled software and wireless connectivity.
In this module you analyse how organisations respond to rapidly changing markets, and unknown or changing product requirements. You will examine how the philosophy of lean product development can increase agility and better use of resources.
Develop the skills to plan, initiate, execute, manage and sign off a project. You'll focus on appropriate methodologies, standards, legislation and the nine core knowledge areas associated with project management.
During this module you will reflect critically on your own development and gain an enhanced understanding of the methods and skills required to carry out masters level research successfully.
In this module you evaluate how modelling and simulation of industrial systems can increase productivity and reduce response time to market demands.
