The aims of this module are:

• To equip students with a range of mathematical tools which will be useful in other modules which they study.
• To introduce computer technology into the solution of mathematical problems via MATLAB.
• To develop competence and confidence in basic mathematical techniques.
• To motivate and encourage students to learn mathematics through the use of real life examples.

The aims of this module are to develop students' theoretical and practical understanding of the mechanics of human motion, especially as related to sporting performance; and the anatomical structures of the body and the ways that the muscular and skeletal systems interact during motion.

This module aims to:

• Introduce students to engineering as a professional multi-disciplinary activity through problems and challenges that integrate the new knowledge and understanding which is being taught in other modules.
• Provide a problem-based learning environment in which students can respond to design briefs and gain ongoing feedback from teaching and technical staff, as well as each other.
• Provide students with basic project delivery and management skills to develop an engineered solution in a team-based environment.
• Provide students with knowledge of routes to Chartered Engineer Status along with opportunities for their professional career development using the Engineering Council's UK-Specification and Personal Best.

The aim of this module is for students to understand the importance of the human user as a major determinant of product and workplace design, and to be introduced to design awareness and the concepts of product visualisation, particularly as applied to consumer products.

The aims of the module are:

• To introduce the fundamental properties of engineering materials through an understanding of the atomic and molecular interactions taking place within them.
• To provide an introduction to the technology of manufacturing processes and how their selection is influenced by, and subsequently affects, the material properties.

The aim of this module is to help students understand the basic principles of measurement and mechanical design, and how these principles are applied in sports technology and engineering. By the end of this module, students will be able to measure physical properties accurately, analyse data, and use these measurements to design (CAD) and test mechanical parts and systems used in the sports industry.
