Course summary
Overview This course will help you develop your capacity to answer society’s biggest questions and provide you with the tools for integrated learning. Engineering is the pursuit of solutions. Engineers are arguably the most significant shapers of society, poised to lead the innovations of the digital revolution. Studying at UEA will bring the opportunities of this new industrial phase to your learning experiences. You’ll graduate as a digital change-agent, spanning the boundaries between disciplines and capable of supporting engineering industries to respond to global societal challenges. Society needs engineers who understand a variety of engineering disciplines; students with general engineering degrees therefore have access to an array of key roles in industry. The course includes a Year Abroad which will give you an opportunity to capitalise on experiences related to engineering while enhancing your world view and promoting your personal development. About This Course This course offers the first steps to your development as a professional engineer, combining all the learning experiences and opportunities for industrial connection that will support your aspirations. UEA Engineering courses follow an integrated programme structure for the first year. This broadens your insight into the wealth of opportunities available to you as a student of engineering, as you forge your own career pathway. In your second year, you can tailor your course to pursue the areas of study that interest you most, through the selection of your optional modules. As a general engineer, you’ll choose from a catalogue of modules, ensuring that your learning opportunities support your ambitions. From the very first weeks of your course, we will facilitate connections between our students and industrial partners, allowing you to showcase your potential and build your own network of professional contacts. These opportunities are built into our programme philosophy, both within the teaching & learning delivery and through extra-curricular opportunities. You’ll also encounter a varied range of professional role models, site visits, and experiences, helping you explore the many potential career paths you might choose to follow. Thanks to the Year Abroad, you will develop further your engineering skills within an international environment by being exposed to a different higher educational culture and acting as an ambassador for UEA. This will help you enhance your intellectual flexibility, self-management and life-long learning skills including time management, adaptability, confidence, independence, and enterprise.

Modules
Year 1 is made up of compulsory modules which will provide you with a solid grounding in mathematics and engineering. These modules include Engineering Studies, Engineering Principles and Law and Mathematics for Scientists. As your studies progress you will develop a knowledge of general, Mechanical or Electronic and Electrical engineering. In Years 2 and 3, you will have a combination of compulsory modules - such as Analogue and Digital Electronics - and optional modules such as Vibration and Dynamics or Meteorology and Global Environmental Change. You will also complete an individual research project in your final year which you can base on your own engineering interests.
