Course Description
Overview and aims of the Programme
Many employers need professional engineers who have a broad understanding of key engineering disciplines and expertise in more than one area. Integrated engineers have a wide set of skills which they can apply to complex engineering challenges and use to interact with engineers across specialisms.
Our multidisciplinary course, built around electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering topics, aims to produce experts in the areas of manufacturing, mechatronics, computer-aided design, and renewable energy. Your broad knowledge of the various aspects of engineering will ensure you can interact with engineers across the disciplines, as well as being familiar with the business environment.
Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to explore a range of authentic engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other degree programmes. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.
