Compulsory modules

The aims of this module are to provide students with an understanding of the principles and practices of sustainable development and to provide them with an understanding of how engineers can help manufacturing businesses and wider industry develop into more sustainable enterprises.

The module is designed to equip engineering managers with the core competencies for delivering technical engineering projects.

This module aims to develop the study, employability and research skills to meet the complex learning and professional requirements of postgraduate study. The module which is delivered through a blended approach brings together three discrete elements of study, employability and research skills. Learning content will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching provision.
Key aims include:

  • To deliver a series of high quality, interactive study skills and blended learning activities to provide students with a broad foundation to support their development within their chosen field.
  • To provide a series of skills to support students within their employability profiles.
  • To provide students with the opportunity to develop research skills for engineering and business, including data gathering and analysis skills and ethical awareness.
  • To provide students with the opportunity to develop effective communication skills for engineering and business, including skills synthesise complex scientific data to engineering and non-engineering audiences

The aims of this module are:

  • To give students an opportunity to conduct a research and/or development project on a topic of relevance to their specific programme of study.
  • To provide students with the key skills and experience needed to plan, manage and deliver a complex extended project.
  • To prepare students for future employment and professional practice in a relevant engineering sector at an advanced technical or managerial level.

Optional modules

The aim of this module is to enhance the understanding of the principles of Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave Integrated Circuit/System Design using CAD software simulation tools and measurement techniques.

The aims of this module are to: - provide an understanding of advanced electronic engineering applications. - provide insight into practicalities of advanced sensor systems in real world applications using underwater acoustics applications as a case study.
