Engineering BSc (Hons)

This module provides the opportunity for the student to undertake a major problem-solving exercise or an in-depth study of a particular topic of interest and permits the integration of the main areas of study in the programmeThis module could form the assessment for any University-approved industrial placement opportunity.

This module gives students opportunity to consolidate their learning and produce a report and logbook on a particular piece of work that they have been involved with in their workplace They will identify a suitable case study topic, which will be industrial and based on working practice or work-placement activities.

Computer simulation modelling techniques offer savings in time and money in many company activities and are a valuable aid to management decision makingThis module introduces students to computer modelling techniques and software and gives them the opportunity to practice the technique in the solution of problems.

This module has four key themes, which are vital in supporting technological industriesFocusing on the application of Quality Principles, Manufacturing improvement techniques, project management and personal performance and leadershipMany of the topics are discussed and evaluated using relevant industrial scenarios, applying knowledge gained to solve problems.

This module teaches the design of electromechanical systems which integrate mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineeringLaboratories form the core of the moduleThese cover topics such as transducers, signal conditioning, filters, closed loop control, digital logic, embedded systems and PLCsLabs involve Arduino and PLC software such as Codesys.

This module provides students with instruction in the fundamentals of theory of machinesThe theory of machines and mechanisms provides the foundation for the study of displacements, velocities, accelerations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems.

This module provides the opportunity to apply and develop theoretical knowledge in an individual project and individual reportBy completing the module students will gain experience of researching the necessary technical information, of solving cross-disciplinary technical problemsThis module could form the assessment for any University approved industrial placement opportunity.

The purpose of this module is to transition to a Changemaker campus and help you make sense of what university study looks and feels like, to access the resources and resiliences that will protect and enhance your wellbeing and success throughout your time here so that you can make informed decisions about your intended field of study and academic pathway.

The purpose of this module is to develop an academic and professional foundation in the field of Physical Sciences to help you investigate, understand, communicate and engage effectively in the wider context of your specific degree programme.

The purpose of this module is to delve deeper into your intended field of study in order to develop an academic toolkit for your future pathway, learning about the `hidden rules’ of university academic work that leads to success in your intended field of study and academic pathway.

The purpose of this module is to shift the emphasis of learning onto youYou will need to demonstrate your ability to utilise the toolkit you have acquired through the previous modules to manage your own learningIn partnership with your tutors, you will be required to negotiate, plan and carry out an investigation that demonstrates the skills you have acquired over the year evidences your readiness for entry into Level 4 of your degree programme.
