The aims of this module are for the students to practice an aspect of engineering in a simulated professional situation whereby they:

• Develop the ability to work individually.
• Apply knowledge gained in several subject areas in previous years.
• Exercise initiative, imagination and creativity.
• Gain experience in project planning, project implementation and communication of outcomes.
• Demonstrate one or more of the following: analysis and interpretation of data, numerical modelling, use of appropriate problem-solving approaches, use of industry-standard design processes.

The aim of the module is to enable students to understand the financial, legal and quality management principles that apply to the operational management of engineering organisations.

The aim of the module is for students to gain an understanding of the nature of engineering organisations, their design and strategy within a global context.

The aim of this module is for the student to consider a sustainability-oriented engineering methodology that takes into account the comprehensive technical, environmental, social and economic impacts of decisions within the product life cycle, and requires analysis to quantify sustainability and setting appropriate targets for environmental impact using the international ISO standards 14040-44 for Life Cycle Assessment.

The aim of this module is for students to explore the approaches, skills and techniques needed to effectively manage projects. Students will also explore the role of mentors in enabling less experienced students to manage their design projects.

The aim of this module is for students to gain an understanding of strategic and operational issues and demands related to product innovation management through a series of lectures covering an appreciation of market dynamics and their effect on the design of new products, including the development of appropriate management strategies.

The aim of this module is to enable students to understand core elements of Lean operations management within manufacturing systems and supply chains of products.

This module aims to provide an understanding of the tools and techniques available to facilitate sustainable product design and provide knowledge of the product design processes that can reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable practices.

The aim of this module is to give students an understanding of the enabling technologies of geometric modelling as they support computer aided design for manufacturing engineering.

The aims of this module are to introduce and examine the principles of Metrology (measurement science) and inspection in the specification, design and development of products or systems. It considers advanced methods available for the measurement of dimensional and geometric features, and inspection of surface characteristics, and illustrates the translation of metrological themes into other engineering, science and technological areas.

The aim of the module is to introduce students from a diverse range of engineering backgrounds to both the opportunities and constraints of engineering practice in healthcare, medicine and medical device industry. The module will have a focus on products, design and manufacture, innovation and exploitation in a regulated industry on emerging health technology products.

The aim of the module is for students to gain an understanding of the science and materials relating to sports equipment design and manufacture and to appreciate the significance of this industry sector.
