EG-1007 Engineering Analysis for Materials
Delivery of both teaching and assessment will be blended including live and self-directed activities online and on-campus. This module will be supported with the Canvas digital learning platform. Available to visiting and exchange students. This module will be assessed with 5 separate tests, which cover the required basic understanding and abilities needed for the materials degree. Components 1-3 are carried out on the Pearson platform and students can have multiple attempts to complete them. The best attempt will count for the components 1-3. Component 4 and 5 are completed by an invigilated pc based canvas test and an invigilated class test, respectively.

EG-2036 Materials Structure and Characterisation Techniques
Introduction to order in materials-single crystals and polycrystalline powders. Understanding of the basic principles of crystallography and the factors governing atomic arrangements through defined examples of crystal structures of elements, ionic compounds, interstitial and substitutional solid solutions.. Introduction to imperfections in crystals and the concept of disorder rather than defects (i.e. positive and negative effects of disorder). Disorder will be considered around 0-dimensional point defects (impurities and vacancies), 1-dimensional line defects (dislocations), 2-dimensional planar defects (interfaces and grain boundaries) and 3-dimensional defects (particulate) . The positive and negative effects of defects on different types of crystalline materials; and how understanding can lead to control. Case studies of real-life examples of disorder will be used to illustrate the concepts through the module. Furthermore, this module provides an in-depth coverage of quantitative metallographic techniques, and how they can be applied to characterise the microstructures in advanced metallic materials. The key elements of interest are planes and directions of hexagonal systems, crystallographic texture, characterization with X-rays and electrons, SEM/EBSD and compositional analysis.

EG-2037 Mechanical Deformation in Structural Materials: Theory and practicals
This module explores the deformation behaviour of a wide range of engineering materials, extending first-year principles to high-performance systems such as titanium and nickel alloys. Students will develop an understanding of deformation and damage mechanisms through focused study of elasticity, plasticity, alloy strengthening, fatigue, creep, and the mechanics of materials. The module also covers methods of mechanical testing and emerging technologies such as additive layer manufacturing. A key emphasis is placed on linking microstructure to mechanical properties across metals, ceramics, and composites, highlighting how processing treatments can significantly influence material behaviour. Through the identification and assessment of microstructures in both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, students gain insight into how microstructural design and control underpin performance in advanced engineering applications. The module is delivered through a combination of lectures and practical classes, providing both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in materials characterisation and analysis.

EG-262 Stress Analysis 1
This module continues on from EG-120 or EG-131 and includes: section properties; unsymmetrical bending; stresses in thick cylinders; rotating discs; theories of failure; stress concentration effects; fatigue and linear elastic fracture mechanics.

EG-D001 Independent Research Project
This module provides students with the opportunity to undertake an independent, in-depth research project on a topic relevant to their programme. It is designed to develop advanced research, analytical, and critical evaluation skills essential for engineering scholarship and professional practice. Students will identify a research question of significant relevance to the discipline and produce a substantial dissertation that demonstrates mastery of the subject matter. The module emphasises rigorous engagement with primary and secondary sources, enabling students to critically assess current research and advanced scholarship in the field. Through sustained analysis, students will synthesise doctrinal principles and policy considerations, presenting a coherent and well-structured argument that reflects originality and intellectual independence. The dissertation process also fosters the ability to advance knowledge and understanding beyond existing literature, equipping students with transferable skills for future academic or professional development.
