Course Modules

This module focuses upon the practical application of science and mathematics to develop engineering solutions. It is based on the problem-based engineering philosophy where teams of three to six students are challenged by a typical engineering problem that requires both […]

This module will give you the necessary mathematics skills to start your BEng degree. This module assumes little or no experience in applied mathematics at level 3 (A level, BTech) and is essential so you can study other modules in

The aim of this module is to introduce you to mechanical engineering. It begins with an introduction to Newton’s laws of motion and ends with the application of static mechanics to determine the forces, moments and deflections acting on simple

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 module aims to extend familiar notions from calculus to settings that involve functions of more than one variable. The resulting subject, known as vector calculus, is fundamentally important in branches of applied mathematics such as fluid dynamics and electromagnetism.

Within this module, you will study algorithms that allows computers to learn and improve from experience. The importance of this topic to many modern technologies cannot be overestimated.

As a result of initial planning and negotiation, a learning contract will be drawn up between individual students and the module co-ordinator. The content will, therefore, be negotiated in the light of identified needs.

Operations research is simply a quantitative approach to decision making that seeks to best design and operate a system (in this case an organisation of interdependent components) usually under conditions requiring the allocation of scarce resources. Elements of OR have
