Programme Structure

This programme operates as a top-up for holders of an appropriate level 4 qualifications. Students who have successfully passed 120 credits on the NCUK International Diploma (Mechanical and Manufacturing) at SBC can progress into Level 5 of this programme. Students would be awarded 120 Level 4 credits for the BEng (Hons) award by virtue of their prior certificated studies on the International Diploma (RPL). In addition, students must have at least a Grade 'C' for the NCUK 'English for Academic Purposes (EAP)' module, or demonstrate equivalence of this with an IELTS score of 6. Non-standard: Applications considered through standard RPL processes at LJMU.

Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems.

Plan and record self learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD.

Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks.

Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study.

Apply knowledge of engineering management principles, commercial context, project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual property rights.

Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations.

Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team.

Design solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.

Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address complex problems.

Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems.

Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles.

Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences.

Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity.

Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion.

Discuss the role of quality management systems and continuous improvement in the context of complex problems.

Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.

Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems and minimise adverse impacts.

Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct.
