Modules

You will share the same first year across the department - developing knowledge of the engineering fundamentals, science and design. Throughout the course you will learn all about 3D printing, design, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, vibration, control and automation. In design, the emphasis is on project work and in both the first and second years, you will undertake a design, make and test project, which you will manufacture in the department's student workshop. Year three features a major group design and make project over the full year, making up a third of your studies. In addition to compulsory manufacturing modules, you will study a range of optional modules in manufacturing, operations management and human factors. This provides you with flexibility to tailor the course to your interests. Year four features a major individual project in manufacturing engineering over the full year, making up a third of your studies. You will also study compulsory modules in advanced engineering topics along with a range of optional modules, allowing further specialisation.
