The aims of this module are to:

• equip students with basic mathematical tools useful in engineering
• demonstrate how mathematics can be used in engineering

The primary aim of the study of engineering mechanics is to develop in students a capacity to predict the effects of force and motion.

The aims of this introductory module are to:

• Introduce students to engineering as a professional multi-disciplinary activity through activities and projects that integrate new knowledge and understanding with taught material from other modules.
• Provide a project-based learning environment in which students can respond to project briefs and gain ongoing feedback from teaching and technical staff, as well as each other.
• Provide students with basic project delivery and management skills in order to develop an engineered solution in a team-based environment.
• Provide students with knowledge of professional skills along with opportunities for their career development using Personal Best.

Students will study projects which have been selected to be relevant to their Degree Programme. The project briefs will be introduced as the module progresses.

• teach the principles of the graphical language of engineering drawing and dimensioning to British Standards and to develop 2D and 3D visualisation skills;
• teach students to use Computer Aided Design software as an engineering design tool as well as using it to produce engineering drawings by manual techniques;
• develop practical workshop and manufacturing skills.

The aim of this module is:

• 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.

The aim of the module is to introduce fundamental principles and definitions in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, providing students with the scientific foundations required to understand and analyse systems and fluid behaviour. The module will emphasise practical engineering applications, covering thermodynamics laws, fluid statics, and fluid dynamics, and will equip students with analytical and experimental skills to mechanical design, energy efficiency, and fluid machinery.

The primary aim of the study of engineering mechanics is to develop in students a capacity to predict the effects of forces and motion on engineering structures and materials.
