Course programme
Year 1
Through a shared first year with our mechanical and aeronautical engineering courses.
A major design project reinforces this learning.
Modules- Engineering Mathematics
In this module you will learn to apply mathematical concepts and software tools to solve engineering problems.
On completion you will be able to use analytical techniques and software tools to solve simple algebraic problems, develop mathematical models of engineering systems, and apply an appropriate analytical method, or software tool to solve a mathematical model.
- Engineering Practice
On this module you will develop your engineering skills using projects as the focus of your learning.
You will work on group projects, applying engineering skills such as reflection, organisation, planning, design, communication and planning. Concepts across a range of engineering specialisms will be introduced as part of a problem-based approach.
- Mechanical Design
This module introduces you to the principles of mechanical design and communicating engineering design intent. You will acquire skills in drawing and Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing software package such as SolidWorks, and basic concepts of mechanical design and machine components.
- Energy Systems
This module will provide you with an introduction to energy production, conversion, storage, conservation and coupling. This will be achieved utilising basic applied concepts relating to fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and engineering economics.
- Design Project
In this module teams of engineers have the task of designing and manufacturing a functional product. Each team member has to apply a range of engineering skills and knowledge to realise the design. You will gain experience of working within a team, planning and managing the design project.
- Materials and Manufacture
This module introduces you to materials and their properties, a range of manufacturing processes, and environmental considerations used to make components from various materials.
