Course programme
Students graduating with this FdEng award will be confident practitioners in Engineering with the knowledge and ability to apply current technology to existing products & designs as well as developing new ones. They will have a sound understanding of engineering principles and the skills necessary to communicate them to others and develop them into finished products that meet customer expectations and agreed specifications. Within this skill set will be the ability to reflect on their own work to evaluate what worked, what can be improved and how the overall process can be changed for the better.
Study modulesAs courses are reviewed regularly the module list you choose from may vary from that shown here.
Each single undergraduate module is 150 hours of effort. Modules presently include 36 to 54 hours contact time and are delivered using a mixture of lectures, tutorial/seminar sessions and laboratories. In addition, you can expect to undertake approximately an additional 100 hours of independent work per single 15-credit module. The exception is the double project module.
Teaching methods vary from module to module. Usually they include lectures, laboratory-based practical activities and software simulations, problem-solving classes and tutorial support, supplemented by handouts and booklets produced by staff.
