Course Modules

This module provides a basic introduction to several software packages used in BEng degrees. You will gain a basic competency in using these software packages. This module also stresses the importance that computer-aided engineering (CAE) plays in modern engineering practice.

The module will provide you with the fundamentals, tools and techniques required for DC and AC circuit analysis. You will be introduced to the fundamental properties of electromagnetic fields and their application in engineering context.

This module develops your basic laboratory and analytical techniques and develops your mathematical, statistical and IT skills. You will practise recording laboratory data and maintaining a lab-book. You will encouraged to think independently, analytically and creatively in order to interpret

This year-long module is an opportunity to work within a group on a defined project offered by departmental staff. You will develop your research, planning and practical skills, from inception to completion, and develop skills in appraising your results to

This introductory module provides a mathematical foundation for Engineering students. This module assumes some experience in applied mathematics at level 3 (A level, BTEC) and is essential for studying other modules in electrical and mechanical engineering.

This module provides a grounding in the theory of probability, and is an essential precursor for the subsequent study of mathematical statistics and operations research. The emphasis will be on modelling real situations, including probability calculations motivated by statistical problems.

This module builds on the material covered within the first year calculus courses. Calculus will be extended to functions of more than one variable and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integrals.

This modules explores how groups were introduced in an attempt to study one of the most fundamental aspects of nature: symmetry. As an example, the 6 symmetries of an equilateral triangle form a group: every symmetry has a counterpart inverse

The subject of mathematical analysis puts calculus on a rigorous foundation. The key concept underlying the whole course is that of “limit”. The purpose of analysis is to develop a solid understanding of when familiar techniques of calculus apply and

This module introduces formulating numerical problems and building models to address and derive numerical solutions. It also provides you with the knowledge and understanding of mathematical and statistical principles appropriate to interpret numerical findings and draw justified conclusions.
