Module descriptions

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.
