• EG-094 Fundamentals of Engineering Design

  This module provides the essential skills required for future design modules and project tasks by providing a firm grounding for teamwork and emphasizing the need for professional standards and strong communication skills within engineering.

• EG-130 Sustainable Integrated Design I

  This module introduces design tools and methodologies requires students to integrate the competencies gained from previous and concurrent modules. Students will be required to critically assess a design brief, and consider the role of sustainability in their design. Students will be set a contextualized group design challenge.

• EG-138 Introduction to Mechatronics

  This is a practical module introducing students to fundamental engineering skills including work in the laboratory, basic programming and groupwork in a design challenge. Engineering is more than understanding technical design, it is often the social, environmental and economic context underpinning engineering solutions that determine success or failure. The design challenge/ hackathon will allow you to engage with a real world engineering problem

• EG-278 Systems Engineering Management

  Systems Engineering is a holistic approach to manage complex engineering processes. Systems Theory recognises that any system is an amalgamation of different products and processes (social, technical, economic, environmental), with shifting drivers and barriers which are interlinked with differing dependent relationships. Systems Engineering requires looking at the life cycle of a process, from concept to end of life. This module will introduce some systems theory, and explore conceptual models and management techniques for applying systems thinking to engineering projects

• EG-D10 Team Project & Individual Dissertation

  The module is where this program ultimately culminates with the final development stages and realisation of a team based project (as defined at the recruitment stage) with individual aspects considered and assessed as a final dissertation submission. The nature of the dissertation will be dependent on the nature of the specialisation of the participant. During the period of this module, a preparatory period will be followed by participants spending (or utilising remote engineering techniques) a period of circa. 3 weeks in-country delivering the project, with support from academic team leads and other supporting staff, stakeholders or collaborators. This will be concluded with a debrief and final dissertation writing period.

• EG-D11 Team Project & Individual Dissertation (Engineers)

  The module is where this program culminates with the final development stages and realisation of a team based project with individual aspects considered and assessed as a final dissertation submission. The nature of the dissertation will be dependent on the nature of the specialisation of the participant. During this module, a preparatory period will be followed by participants spending (or utilising remote engineering techniques) a period of circa. 3 weeks in-country delivering the project, with support from academic team leads and other supporting staff, stakeholders or collaborators. This will be concluded with a debrief and final dissertation writing period, a group presentation and an individual viva voce.
