Course summary

The BEng(Hons) Engineering Technology program is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to excel in the dynamic field of engineering. Over three trimesters, students will engage in a comprehensive curriculum comprising modules carefully tailored to meet the evolving demands of the engineering industry, particularly within the Humber region. It is delivered part time over 18th months, you will complete 4 modules in your first year through trimester 1 and 2, returning for the third and final trimester to complete the Engineering Project. The BEng (Hons) Engineering Technology (Top-up) helps you to develop the knowledge gathered in your L5 programme in Engineering, getting you up to the standard that employers are demanding when selecting candidates for professional engineering management roles in the region and beyond. Our Top-up programme teaches management techniques, research and project management skills, operations management and much more. As part of the course, you’ll be working on a live brief in association with a leading firm in the engineering industry, giving you first-hand experience of problem solving in a real work environment. Engineering graduates are in high demand and professional opportunities exist in many different fields such as construction, textiles, defence, renewable energy, food, aerospace, medicine, radio, TV and motor sport. There are also many kinds of engineering disciplines including civil, structural, mechanical, electronic and materials engineering and the type of work can vary from research and design to consulting and manufacturing. The PT programme is six hours of contact time per week, you are also expected to complete self-directed study on a weekly basis to extend your subject knowledge. Trimester 1 introduces students to fundamental concepts in Advanced Engineering Materials and Project Management, providing a solid foundation for further exploration. In Trimester 2, students delve into Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS), gaining expertise in essential technologies shaping modern engineering practices. The culmination of the program in Trimester 3 is the Engineering Project module, where students apply their learning to real-world challenges, demonstrating their ability to innovate and solve complex engineering problems. These modules have been developed to meet the Level 6 general engineering requirements, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for successful careers in engineering technology.
