Course programme

Initially, all students follow the same programme covering topics which we believe are important for all engineers to understand. By the second term of Year Two you are able to specialise in Automotive or switch to one of the other Engineering courses (such as: Biomedical Systems, Civil, Electronic, Electrical and Electronic, Engineering Business Management, Mechanical, Manufacturing and Mechanical, or, Systems).

There are nine core modules in the first year which are currently:
  • Dynamics and Thermodynamics
  • Electrical and Electronic Circuits
  • Engineering Design
  • Engineering Mathematics
  • Introduction to Engineering Business Management
  • Introduction to Engineering: Professionalism and Practice
  • Materials for Engineering
  • Statics and Structures
  • Systems Modelling, Simulation and Computing
You are also free to take A Modern Foreign Language module as an optional extra.

In the second year there are seven core modules which are currently:
  • Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics
  • Electromechanical System Design
  • Engineering Mathematics and Technical Computing
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Manufacturing Engineering Design
  • Technical Operations Management
Optional modules currently include:
  • Motor Vehicle Technology
  • Failure Investigation
  • Starting a Business
  • A Modern Foreign Language
  • Introduction to Secondary School Teaching (Physics)
In Year 3 you will carry out an individual project and study six core modules which are currently:
  • Automation and Robotics
  • CAD/CAM and Simulation
  • Design for Manufacture
  • Design for Vehicle Safety
  • Quality Techniques
  • Systems Modelling and Control
