About this course

Please note - this is subject to validation

We nurture your ability to approach engineering challenges systematically. Engineering is all about solving problems. We are committed to producing engineers who are not just technically proficient but have an ability to investigate and define problems. You will identify constraints, encompassing environmental and sustainability aspects, ethical considerations, health and safety, security and risk concerns, intellectual property, and adherence to codes of practice and standards. Successful engineering projects require meticulous planning. You will learn how to plan and manage the design process, including cost considerations, and evaluate outcomes to ensure they meet industry standards. Our program instils a deep understanding of the commercial, economic, and social contexts of engineering processes. We emphasise the imperative of sustainable development in engineering. You'll gain the ability to apply quantitative techniques when necessary to make informed decisions that promote sustainability. Whether you're leading a team or collaborating as a team member, our program fosters personal initiative and responsibility. You'll emerge as an engineer ready to lead or contribute effectively to any project.
