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 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 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 the module is for students to apply the principles of industrial and product design, to conduct and analyse research/market/users data and to communicate the design process and proposal to target audience.

The aim of the module is for students to gain an understanding of the concepts, design, implementation and industrial applications of: advanced manufacturing processes and technology, including industrial automation and laser processing.

The module will introduce and develop the concepts of seven Additive Manufacturing (AM) process categories. The module will emphasise the strengths and weaknesses of the various technologies and will highlight applications and case studies from the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry.

The aim of the module is to illustrate the principles and practice of engineering science applied to the processing and manufacture of products based on polymers.

The aim of the module is to introduce students to the theory and practice of the finite element method, including capabilities and limitations of the finite element method and the practical problems involved in successfully modelling engineering structures and components.

The aims of the module are for students to gain an understanding of the manufacturing environment, and to gain a knowledge of the common techniques applied in that environment.

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 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 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 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.

The aim of the module is to introduce the student to modern digital image processing methods for image capture, enhancement, segmentation, analysis and machine vision for use in industrial applications.
