Modules

**Level 4**

**The 21st-Century Engineer** - Start your study by building a physical and digital artefact. You'll be introduced to the different disciplines of engineering, the influential role of the engineer in society, and the responsibilities we carry as professional engineers.
**Thermodynamics & Fluids** - You will analyse and improve a fluid flow system. You'll combine observation, an awareness of how energy is converted and a knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
**Statics and Dynamics of Simple Mechanisms** - You will design and validate a single-element mechanism under a straightforward load case.
**Fundamentals of Analogue and Digital Circuits** - You will specify and build an open loop control system that meets the needs of a given application.

**Level 5**

**Creating Social Value through Engineering** - You will work on a community-based project. You'll develop key mindsets relating to stakeholders, equity, inclusive design, prototyping and new product development/
**Energy Engineering** - You will propose and specify an energy solution for a specific application. You'll develop and apply your knowledge of thermodynamics including energy/power cycles, heat transfer, and the engineering components and systems that deliver energy.
**Statics and Dynamics of Complex Mechanisms** - You'll design and model a complex structure under differing load cases, including selection of appropriate material(s) from a wider, more specialist range.
**Control and Instrumentation** - You will monitor and model a predictable (LTI) closed-loop control system. To achieve this you'll develop and apply an understanding of open- and closed-loop systems, feedback system design, control system performance and analysis and modelling approaches.

**Level 6**

**People and Projects in Engineering** - You'll deliver an engineering project which you will design, plan and execute. You'll explore the project lifecycle as a way of understanding and breaking down projects, and you'll learn to use a range of tools to work within and manage projects effectively.
**Data-Driven Engineering** - In this module you will master principles of sampling, design of experiments, and the fundamentals of data science. You'll gather, combine, clean, and manipulate more than one big dataset and present an data analysis that facilitates decision-making in the context of an engineering process or facility.
**Manufacturing as Integrated Engineering** - This module presents manufacturing as a context in which materials, structures, dynamics, electronic, control, thermodynamics, energy and power can all be observed, and challenges you to identify benefits and strategies for Industry 4.0 approaches. You will draw on an understanding of the manufacturing environment, and the key mindsets that underpin productive manufacturing (including the management of cost, quality, legal responsibilities, workforce, and wellbeing and safety).
**Bachelor's Project** - This module builds on the knowledge, experience and skills you have gained in the your course to date, and allows you to demonstrate your capability in a self-managed innovative project.

**Level 7**

**Research and Modelling** - You will apply computational engineering modelling tools in a research context, typically CFD (computational fluid dynamics) or FEA (finite element analysis) to predict the performance of an engineered system involving complex phenomena such as fluid dynamics or structural integrity.
**Lifetime Performance of Engineering Assets** - Your skillset and integrated approach is applied to a durable engineering application, providing an opportunity to explore the management of physical assets with a firm eye on their lifecycle performance.
**Master's Project** - You'll work individually on a demanding engineering challenge for an extended period, typically with an industrial or community partner on a research-based or self-defined challenge.

Assessment methods

We believe that your assessment should be as reflective of a real workplace as possible and that means no traditional exams. Instead, our assessments take the form of in-studio quizzes, presentations and debates, display of artefacts you’ve developed and built, industrial reports, development of specifications, test reports and project plans, creative media presentation and general question and answer sessions where your participation and knowledge can be assessed.
