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: advanced analysis and interpretation of data, advanced numerical modelling, synthesis of problem-solving methods, holistic approach to the design process;
• demonstrate proficient independence of thought and creation of knowledge.

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 students to appreciate the importance of playing surfaces, footwear and garments in sport and leisure and the factors involved in their design.

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 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 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 this module is for the students to gain an appreciation of the size and complexity of the sports goods business, the implications of intellectual property, innovation, brand management, marketing, operations and end of life.

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 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 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.
