The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the role of the professional engineer at work by the study of products over their whole life.

The aim of this module is to provide a set of competencies which enable the student to utilise a variety of application-specific, industry standard CAD and CAM packages, and provide an introductory knowledge in structure grahphics programming.

The aim of this module is to develop further the underlying principles of statics and dynamics required in an engineering design and manufacturing environment. Design of machine elements forms a large part of the application of the principles of statics and dynamics.

The aim of this module is to develop creativity and judgement in the design process applied to product creation, and develop a knowledge of the factors which can influence a design.

The aim of this module is:

To provide an understanding of the selection and heat treatment of alloy steels, cast irons and non-ferrous metals and alloys; surface hardening of steels; corrosion prevention methods; an understanding of machinability, machine tool design and the principles of engineering metrology; an understanding of the manufacturing techniques used in the electronic industry.

The aim of this module is to develop the students' ability to apply fundamental mechanical principles to the synthesis, analysis and design of engineering machine components.

The aim of this module is to develop further the underlying principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics in an engineering system and design environment.

This module allows students to develop a personal development plan and interpersonal skills. Using reflective practice and problem based learning, they will be encouraged to examine past learning experiences and reflect on future requirements for success in the workplace and other environments.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with a foundation in the principles of discrete and continuous control systems. First an understanding of control systems will be developed, followed by a study of the performance characteristics of control systems.

This personal development planning module is designed to build on previous personal and academic experience, and learning, to enable the student to plan for their future. It seeks to support learners in developing into effective reflective practitioners. The module encourages examination of the students’ wider environment and includes practice in the application of personal skills.

The aim of this module is to develop further the student's ability to
synthesise and analyse engineering systems and components.

The aim of this module is to develop futher the student's knowledge and ability to apply CAD techniques to the design of engineering components.

an understanding of jig and fixture design; an appreciation of how to design for efficient assembly;

ability to utilise CAD/CAM systems and write simple NC programs;

an understanding of the structure and behaviour of polymers, ceramics and composites under a range of static and dynamic loading conditions and thus the ability to design with these materials.

The aim of this module is to develop further the student's ability to synthesise and analyse engineering systems through component design.

The aim of this module is to develop further the students knowledge and ability to apply Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) techniques to the manufacture of engineering components.

The aim of this module is the provision of a detailed foundation in classical control systems from negligible background. The use of mathematicl techniques is kept to a minimum whilst aiming at an understanding of control systems that extends beyond merely qualitative ideas.

This module develops and integrates the technical and managerial skills gained from other units. The project consists of elements of creativity planning, resource management, design, analysis and communication.

The module introduces the students to a range of advanced life skills, personal development planning and career planning. The students will deliberately reflect on their skills acquisition to date and determine a plan for future development in both the short and the long term. The use of reflective practice will be encouraged to determine such skills and the student will study current thinking in the development of skills for life related to ethics and ethicalness, entrepreneurship and capability, leadership, skills deriving from emotional intelligence, communication, team, collaborative skills and research. Knowledge creation and knowledge transfer in the modern organization is developed related to the role of explicit and tacit knowledge.

This module develops and integrates the technical and managerial skills gained from other units. The project consists of elements of planning, resource management, design, analysis, specification, implementation, validation (testing) and communication.

The aim of this half module is to develop in the student the ability to evaluate, in a given situation the most appropriate condition monitoring strategy to assess the condition of electrical and mechanical machinery.

The aim of this module is to develop the understanding of the strategies, policies and competencies necessary to design evaluate and improve quality management systems.

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the use of fully integrated software in design and manufacture of products which can be used to reduce time to market of new products.

This module follows the development of a new product from the feasibility study to pre-production. Although it is a self-standing module, it may take the output of the module 'Integrated Studies 3' as its starting point.
