EG-3075
Sustainable Integrated Eng Design & Management
This module is designed to reinforce students' abilities in group working, engineering design with an emphasis on mechatronic applications, but importantly also how to assess the environmental and ethical concerns of significant engineering developments and its management. It is based on a group project covering a range of activities including the design, programming and testing of complex system with consideration for:
- environmental issues,
- interactions with humans and society,
- ethical concerns of the broader use of in real world situations.

EGH204A
Stress Analysis and Dynamics
The module starts with an overview of the mechanics of materials and structures. It describes the way in which simple engineering components behave under the action of external forces or other actions such as thermal changes. It then progresses to consider the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. After a review of statics and stress resultants, energy methods of analysis are introduced leading to the calculations of deflection and deformation for frame structures. Consideration of dynamic forces is then covered including analysis of vibrating structures. Finally, computational analysis methods of structural analysis are introduced which will lead towards the use of finite element analysis.

Computer Aided Engineering
This module deals with the significance of computational methods in various aspects of Engineering. The first part covers the use of numerical analysis including integration by MATLAB and an introduction to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by using Solidworks. The former will involve some programming which is covered both in general terms and in specifics with Matlab. The use of CAD will be extended to more advanced applications, including stress analysis of one-dimensional beam structures and two dimensional structures, etc. The use of database systems in Engineering is also covered, including database design, data analytical methods and cyber-security aspects.

EGH300
Research Project
This research project module will cover the entire year and be completed in the summer period within the student¿s employing company. It will involve flexible learning and will incorporate many elements of the prior learning into a substantial research project where there is significant scope for individual direction. It will be directed and supported by both industrial and academic supervisor.
In the early phases of the project there will be assessments based on technical literature review and an environmental impact assessment. The main project report is submitted at the end of the year, along with an oral presentation made to the student's academic and industrial supervisors.

EGH305
Advanced Engineering Structures
This module covers the fundamentals of linear elasticity and the stress analysis of the thin-walled structural components which are commonly employed across Engineering but especially in the design of modern wings and fuselages. In particular, the bending, shearing and twisting of thin-walled beams with open, closed or multi-cell cross-sections is studied in detail.
The stiffening effect of stringers is investigated. Taper and end constraints are discussed. Numerous examples demonstrate the application of the theory. The module teaches the analytical skills, but also develops the students' feeling for thin-walled structures.

EGH309
Advanced Materials
This module will extend the understanding of the links between processing, structure and properties for advanced materials. It will cover selected aspects in more depth than in the second year module, including fatigue and fracture of metallic materials in aerospace applications; the structure and mechanics of composite materials and how these are affected by external environments; the materials and processing of electronic devices. Practical content is included to enhance this understanding. It then allows students to delve more deeply into a materials topic of their choice with an especial focus on the environmental impacts involved.

Digital Manufacturing
Industrial production is entering a new and exciting era, called Smart Manufacturing that will bring a complete transformation in the way products are designed, manufactured and serviced through pervasive and ubiquitous use of ICT, sensors and intelligent robots. To fully exploit the potential of these new technologies there is the need to develop awareness of what Smart Manufacturing is and how organisations can embrace the necessary changes to drive efficiency and boost productivity.
This module covers fundamental concepts, technologies and business strategies of Smart Manufacturing to equip the participants with the necessary interdisciplinary skills to become leaders and innovators in the design, deployment and operation of smart production systems or Factories of the Future.

Engineering Tutorials: Foundation Year
This module covers the academic tutorials held in the Foundation Year of all Engineering programmes, based around 5 individual or group tutorials held during the year. The tutorials are an important aspect of the degree course as they help students to reflect on their academic performance and explore ways to gain new skills that will help them in their studies and their future careers. Although this module carries no credit, there is a pass/fail assessment of the students' engagement in the tutorial process, which must be passed to progress to the next year of study.
