Mathematics I
This module develops your confidence and knowledge in basic mathematical techniques and skills.
Materials
In this module you will be introduced to some of the basic structures of matter and how these structures affect material properties and their behaviour and uses in science and engineering.
Mechanics
The aim of this module is to develop a basic understanding of the principles of mechanics
Waves
This module covers the fundamental concepts of wave motion.
Mathematics II
This module builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the Introductory Mathematics module (Term 1). It will cover topics associated with functions, and numerical methods.
Calculus
This module further develops mathematical methods around calculus .
Foundation Electronic and Electrical Engineering
This module aims to develop basic knowledge and skills relevant to electricity and magnetism.
Introductory Inorganic Chemistry
This module aims to develop a number of fundamental concepts associated with the discipline of Chemistry. This module introduces fundamental features of bonding, before extending towards compounds, including concepts of geometry and oxidation states.
Introductory Organic Chemistry
This module aims to develop knowledge and skills in basic organic chemistry and you will be provided with a good grounding in the Organic Spectroscopy module
Introductory Computer Science
The module introduces issues relating to the representation, storage, exchange and manipulation of information and the theoretical and practical aspects of computing.
Statistics and data
In this module you will cover statistical analysis of information and data, how to present different data sets along with how to obtain and test results from a STEM context.
Science and Engineering Laboratories
This module introduces you to working within laboratories explores a series of scientific experiments developing and understanding of the experimental method and the impact of scientific discoveries.
Group project
In this module you will work in a multidisciplinary team to design and build a device achieve an objective e.g map part of the green heart, 3D scan an object.
