• EG-D09 MSc Engineering Leadership and Management Project

  The module aims to develop the ability to construct a viable strategic plan as part of a group with the individual assessment being delivered in the form of a document covering one of the key aspects within the structure of that strategic plan. The final ambition of the strategic plan, i.e. the synopsis will be defined by industry seniors. There is an expectation that key research skills will be developed alongside personal and professional development skills and the utilization of knowledge gained throughout the taught elements.

• EG-E01 Industrial Placement Year (Engineering)

  The industrial placement year (often referred to as the Year in Industry) takes place after Year 2 for BEng students and after Year 2 or Year 3 for MEng students. Students may enrol on programmes with an industrial placement year at the beginning of their studies, subject to appropriate enhanced entry qualifications, or may transfer to such a programme at the start of Year 2 (for BEng students) or at the start of Year 2/Year 3 (for MEng students). Year in Industry preparation starts in Year 1, students on the year in industry schemes are required to attend placement preparation activities in year 1, TB2. CVs will be submitted and vetted in Year 1. In Year 2 students are required to attend preparatory lectures, that cover various topics, such as job applications, interview techniques, telephone interviews, etc. Please note that these lectures are delivered in Year 2 in EG-233. MEng students are permitted to take their intercalary year after Year 2 or Year 3; however the preparatory sessions are only run in Year 2, this is due to timetabling matters. The onus to apply and find a placement is that of the student. If successful in attaining a placement, a student will complete a minimum of 40 weeks in a paid placement in companies across the UK or abroad. All placements sourced by the students are subject to the University's approval to be registered as a year in industry, notably, health and safety information, and role description will need to be disclosed by the placement host and scrutinised. The aim of the module is to document the student¿s professional development along the Engineering Council UK-SPEC guidelines. The mode of assessment is described in the relevant section.

• EG-M194 MSc Industrial Experience Preparation

  This module aims to prepare students for the 60 credit industrial experience module - EG-M39 MSc Industrial Experience which is required as part of the MSc with Industry programmes. Preparation will include meetings with the assigned academic staff member who will act as supervisor for the industrial experience module and they will guide students via weekly interactions.

• EG-M39 MSc Industrial Experience

  This module provides industrial experience within an Engineering context in the UK. The experience will be gained through a 32 week industrial placement, at least part of which will be spent within the University on a collaborative R&D project undertaken with significant industrial collaboration. Some of the placement may be spent in a paid industrial role in some cases. The module will be assessed on a pass / fail basis against criteria matching the some of the Engineering Council's requirements for professional engineering recognition in the UK.

• EGSM21 Leadership and Complexity Management (ELM)

  One of the key skills identified by employers in all sectors and for life in general is the ability to work in a team and to be able to lead! Additionally, there are a number of other skills and traits required or to at least be aware of, to be most effective in these capacities. Effective communication will be promoted throughout the module, in terms of leadership and team work alongside engagement with internal and external stakeholders, to include such areas as sales, marketing and personal branding. At the end of this course students will be able to recognise and understand key characteristics of leadership as well as a wide range of strategic business skills, ideas and theories with emphasis on innovation and ¿entrepreneurial thinking¿ which is essential for the current multidisciplinary engineering environment. The course delivery integrates practical project work and academic rigour.

• EGSM35 Strategy

  The module will give an insight into the origins of strategy formation using examples where success has followed and perhaps those that have not. Clearly Strategy has military connotations and history is peppered with classic examples. Moving then onto modern day organizations, the module will walk the candidates through all the key elements associated with effective design, management and deployment of strategy. As potential Leaders, it is important that an understanding of the likely roles they will play in the future is delivered. This will be effected by a program that has sound theoretical anchors and uses real life examples through case studies of organizations to explore and critique the plans.

Paratoi Lleoliadau EG-233: Blwyddyn Ddiwydiannol Peirianneg

Mae'r modiwl trawsddisgyblaethol generig hwn ar gyfer pob myfyriwr sydd wedi cofrestru (neu drosglwyddo) i'r cynllun Blwyddyn Peirianneg mewn Diwydiant. Mae'r modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar yr hanfodion gofynnol sydd eu hangen i ennill lle mewn lleoliad diwydiannol, ymuno â’r maes a chamu ymlaen yn effeithiol. Bydd dysgwyr yn cael eu cyflwyno i a) dod o hyd i leoliadau, ysgrifennu CV a thechnegau ymgeisio; (b) technegau cyfweld - sut i gyflwyno eich hun a bod yn llwyddiannus; (c) hanfodion y gweithle ac ymwybyddiaeth, ymddygiadau a disgwyliadau o Eiddo Deallusol ; (ch) sgiliau cyflogadwyedd allweddol; cael y gorau o'ch Lleoliad Diwydiannol; a (d) iechyd a diogelwch yn y gweithle.

Blwyddyn Lleoliad Diwydiannol EG-E01 (Peirianneg)

Mae'r flwyddyn lleoliad diwydiannol (y cyfeirir ati'n aml fel y Flwyddyn mewn Diwydiant) yn digwydd ar ôl Blwyddyn 2 ar gyfer myfyrwyr BEng ac ar ôl Blwyddyn 2 neu Flwyddyn 3 ar gyfer myfyrwyr MEng. Gall myfyrwyr gofrestru ar raglenni gyda blwyddyn lleoliad diwydiannol ar ddechrau eu hastudiaethau, yn amodol ar gymwysterau mynediad uwch priodol, neu gallant drosglwyddo i raglen o'r fath ar ddechrau Blwyddyn 2 (ar gyfer myfyrwyr BEng) neu ar ddechrau Blwyddyn 2/Blwyddyn 3 (ar gyfer myfyrwyr MEng). Mae paratoi ar gyfer Blwyddyn mewn Diwydiant yn dechrau ym Mlwyddyn 1, gyda darlith ragarweiniol a gweithdy CV ar ddiwedd TB2. Bydd CVs yn cael eu cyflwyno a'u harchwilio ym Mlwyddyn 1. Ym Mlwyddyn 2 mae'n ofynnol i fyfyrwyr fynychu darlithoedd paratoadol, sy'n ymdrin â phynciau amrywiol, megis ceisiadau am swyddi, technegau cyfweld, cyfweliadau dros y ffôn, ac ati. Sylwer bod y darlithoedd hyn yn cael eu cyflwyno ym Mlwyddyn 2 yn EG-233. Caniateir i fyfyrwyr MEng gymryd eu blwyddyn ryngosodol ar ôl Blwyddyn 2 neu Flwyddyn 3; fodd bynnag, dim ond ym Mlwyddyn 2 y mae'r sesiynau paratoi yn cael eu cynnal, a'r rheswm am hyn yw materion amserlennu. Cyfrifoldeb y myfyriwr yw gwneud cais a dod o hyd i leoliad. Os bydd yn llwyddo i gael lleoliad, bydd myfyriwr yn cwblhau o leiaf 40 wythnos mewn lleoliad â thâl mewn cwmnïau ledled y DU ac, mewn rhai achosion, dramor. Nod y modiwl yw dogfennu datblygiad proffesiynol y myfyriwr yn unol â chanllawiau'r Cyngor Peirianneg UK-SPEC. Disgrifir y dull asesu yn yr adran berthnasol.

Mae'r modiwl hwn yn darparu profiad diwydiannol o fewn cyd-destun Peirianneg yn y DU. Bydd y profiad yn dod drwy gyfrwng lleoliad diwydiannol 32 wythnos, a bydd o leiaf ran ohono'n cael ei dreulio o fewn y Brifysgol ar brosiect ymchwil a datblygu cydweithredol a gynhelir gyda chydweithrediad diwydiannol sylweddol. Gellir treulio rhywfaint o'r lleoliad mewn rôl ddiwydiannol â thâl mewn rhai achosion. Bydd y modiwl yn cael ei asesu ar sail pasio / methu yn erbyn meini prawf sy'n cyfateb i rai o ofynion y Cyngor Peirianneg ar gyfer cydnabod peirianneg broffesiynol yn y DU.
