Modules

In the first year of your Integrated Engineering course, you will study alongside other engineering students from across the school to learn the fundamental engineering principles which will underpin the subjects you choose to study later in the course. You will develop your mathematical and computing skills and will enhance your engineering knowledge by studying additional topics chosen from civil and mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and robotics engineering. You will also learn about generic design and computer-aided design processes. Laboratory sessions will form an important part of your learning. In the second year you will begin to develop and consolidate your chosen engineering study direction. Here you will choose modules from civil and mechanical engineering or from electrical and electronic engineering, robotics engineering and computing. The modules you choose to study in the second year is flexible but must sensibly align with those you studied in the first year. You can decide to do an optional industrial placement during your third year of your studies. In preparation for this you must attend a suitable placement preparation module during stage 2. Doing an industrial placement will allow you to integrate and consolidate your learning from your first and second years in a meaningful way. In addition, by taking the opportunity to spend an optional year in paid employment whilst still a student engineer, you will obtain recordable professional experience, build a network of industry contacts and often obtain offers of summer work, sponsorship or employment on graduation. Our placements team will support you in finding a placement, and we have an extensive network of employers across all sectors. In the final year, you will complete your Integrated Engineering degree by studying modules which will more fully define your chosen engineering specialism. To do this you will choose modules from one of four module clusters. These clusters relate to civil and mechanical engineering, electro-mechanical engineering, electro-robotic engineering, and robotic-computing engineering. To complete your studies, you must also do a compulsory final year dissertation project chosen from your preferred cluster.
