Educational Aims of the Course

This programme aim is designed to develop high-level technical and management expertise which will enable graduates to undertake technical leadership roles in a modern interdisciplinary engineering environment, and to make an immediate contribution to their employers organisations.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Acquisition of knowledge is achieved mainly through lectures, tutorials and directed student-centred learning. Understanding is reinforced through case studies. Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions. Intellectual skills are developed through case studies and coursework assignments. Open-ended reports and project work is designed to permit students to demonstrate achievement of all the learning outcomes in this category. Testing of intellectual skills is through a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework in the form of case-study reports and coursework assignment submissions. Professional practical skills are developed through the completion of tutorial and assessed work throughout the programme. Subject practical skills are developed in a coordinated and progressive manner throughout the programme. Transferable/key skills are developed in the completion of tutorial and assessed work throughout the programme. Key skills are generally incorporated within modules and related to relevant assessments as appropriate. There are specific modules where the teaching of key skills is more significant than other modules. These are generally at the lower levels and the key skills are taught through subject specific activities. Formative group work is applied in seminars and other peer supported learning activities.

Opportunities for work related learning

Students enrolling on this programme will be employed in roles that enable them to apply their learning at work. The combination of theoretical study, applied learning, and on-the-job experience is the principal idea behind the programme.
