Description

  • Type

    Postgraduate

  • Duration

    1 Year

To gain a working knowledge of a range of modelling tools and their underpinning science, covering shape, process, system, and design and information aspects of manufacturing. To be able to implement and apply established modelling tools in an industrial and/or research environment. To be able to advise on current development in the scope of modelling tools for manufacturing. Suitable for: Students with a first degree in an engineering subject who wish to specialize in the planning and simulation of manufacturing using computers. We will also consider applicants with degrees in scientific subjects other than engineering, or with appropriate industrial experience.

Course programme

Overview

In addition to developing specific subject expertise, the general aims of this programme are:

Knowledge and Understanding

  • To develop thorough understanding of and high competence in the materials covered in the selected programme.
  • To develop a critical understanding of the uncertainty, ambiguity and limits of knowledge and how these may affect analyses of, and solutions to, engineering problems.
  • To develop the ability to locate, analyse, interpret, criticise and report on scientific information from published sources at specialist level.

Intellectual Skills

  • To develop the ability to apply the concepts and principles of mechanical engineering science to the solution of engineering problems in complex (both familiar and unpredictable) professional and research environments.
  • To complete a substantial full-time research project (or equivalent for part-time) in an area relevant to the selected programme, in sufficient depth to form a dissertation.
  • To be able to employ a range of techniques to review and critically analyse information concerning engineering problems and to propose and implement solutions in a professional manner.

Professional Practical Skills

  • To be able to employ a range of techniques to review and critically analyse information concerning engineering problems and to propose and implement solutions in a professional manner.
  • To deal with complex engineering issues in a systematic yet creative way, and to communicate the conclusions clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

Transferable/Key Skills

  • To develop the ability to use Information and Computing Technology (ICT) to collect, analyse, synthesise and present technical information.
  • To develop the ability to use appropriate professional simulation and design tools.
  • To show the independent learning ability required for continuing professional development.
  • To demonstrate the capability and skills to plan and execute a project.
  • To demonstrate communication and team-working skills.

Programme Description

Semester one of the programme is devoted to lectures, coursework and examinations in technical areas relevant to manufacturing modelling. Semester two is broader, including courses on research methods and project management. The final third of the programme is spent on a full-time project leading to a dissertation.

Mode of attendance: Full-time.

Comments: Both the University Bath and its Engineering Department have extensive computer facilities available for CAD, CAM and simulation. We also have a large Manufacturing laboratory recently re-equipped with CNC machining centres and rapid prototyping facilities. We are about to introduce a model shop for student use, to give access to workshop facilities for students to manufacture components and assemblies for project work themselves.
