Modules

YEAR 1 (FOUNDATION YEAR)
The foundation year will gradually build the required mathematical skills and science and engineering knowledge for you to progress into your level-4 study. It is designed specifically for the candidates who do not have enough/required UCAS tariff points for their direct level-4 entry or strong enough science and engineering background, or would like to build more solid foundation for your degree studies.


MODULES

• Analytical Methods for Engineering.
• Design and Technology
• Mechanical Science
• Electrical and Electronic Science
• The Skills You Need
• Contextual Studies

YEAR 2 (LEVEL 4)

You will develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories in engineering, acquire basic mathematic skills related to engineering and design problems and use CAD for engineering design. Competence of working safely in engineering laboratories and workshops, and being able to conduct laboratory procedures, measurement and workshop practices under the guidance of a tutor.

MODULES

•
• Mechanical Science
• Electrical Science
• Materials and Manufacturing
• Engineering Mathematics
• Engineering Design and Practice
• Aircraft Technology

YEAR 3 (LEVEL 5)

Level 5 will build on the knowledge, concepts and skills acquired at level 4 in addition to more specialist knowledge, skills in engineering design and analysis. More in-depth in theories in mechanics, thermodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics, avionics, control systems, structures and finite element analysis, etc. Develop an understanding in business and research methods.

MODULES

•
• Business, Research & Professional Development
• Thermo-fluid and Propulsion
• Further Engineering Mathematics
• Engineering Mechanics & Design

• Avionics, Flight Dynamics and Control

YEAR 4 (LEVEL 6)

At level 6 students will acquire a critical understanding and application of the higher level concepts, principles and theories in engineering as well as a critical understanding and explanation of advanced topics in structural vibration, thermodynamics, and aerodynamics. Use knowledge and skills acquired to do an individual project.

MODULES

•
• Dissertation (Honours)

• Composite Materials

The information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules. Modules are designated as core or option in accordance with professional body requirements and internal academic framework review, so may be subject to change.

Assessment methods

A broad range of assessment methods are used; these include phase tests, written assignments, practical work on computers, portfolio of work, logbooks, presentations and laboratory work case studies and CAD. A combination of this work may form part of your assessment, alongside time-constrained exams. Each module is assessed by a variety of methods, enabling students to display their full potential. A project dissertation will form one of the final parts of your assessment.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Wrexham Glynd?r University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential.

We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available.

Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory sessions, student-led seminars and guided research.

Independent learning is an important aspect of all modules, as it enables students to develop both their subject specific and key skills. Independent learning is promoted through guided study or feedbacks given to students.
