The aims of this module are:

• To equip students with a range of mathematical tools which will be useful in other modules which they study.
• To introduce computer technology into the solution of mathematical problems via MATLAB.
• To develop competence and confidence in basic mathematical techniques.
• To motivate and encourage students to learn mathematics through the use of real life examples.

This module aims to:

• Introduce students to engineering as a professional multi-disciplinary activity through problems and challenges that integrate the new knowledge and understanding which is being taught in other modules.
• Provide a problem-based learning environment in which students can respond to design briefs and gain ongoing feedback from teaching and technical staff, as well as each other.
• Provide students with basic project delivery and management skills to develop an engineered solution in a team-based environment.
• Provide students with knowledge of routes to Chartered Engineer Status along with opportunities for their professional career development using the Engineering Council's UK-Specification and Personal Best.

The aim of this module is for students to develop an understanding of the fundamental aspects of engineering science in the areas of statics, kinematics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, heat transfer and thermodynamics.

More information to follow.

The aim of this module is for students to understand the integrated nature of Product Design and technology. Students will gain an introduction to:

• The processes of creating design information through applied Computer Aided Design (CAD) methods.
• Reading graphical engineering design information.
• The design and implementation of engineering related software and programming.
• Electronics and technology.
• CAD based simulation for modelling.

The aims of the module are:

• To introduce the fundamental properties of engineering materials through an understanding of the atomic and molecular interactions taking place within them.
• To provide an introduction to the technology of manufacturing processes and how their selection is influenced by, and subsequently affects, the material properties.
