You'll learn about the software development life cycle and the tools used to build software programs, getting to grips with how to identify system requirements and convert a written specification to a procedural software design and quality metrics.

You'll also learn how to analyse a problem and formulate an algorithm for solving it.

You'll approach practical engineering scenarios, using concepts and calculations from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. On completion, you'll be set for further study in the modelling and optimisation of pumps, turbines, engines, and other key equipment.

In this module, you'll learn mathematical techniques that you can use for intricate engineering problems.

Over a full year, you'll work through topics including algebra, calculus, matrices and complex numbers, learning to recognise when an engineering problem calls for a given method.

You'll also learn efficient strategies for breaking down and solving multifaceted problems, applicable in both mathematical and engineering activity.

You'll start by grasping the essential theory behind combinational and sequential logic, Boolean algebra, and other core concepts.

Then you'll directly apply this knowledge as you analyse, design and implement digital circuits and systems using microcontrollers.

Through hands-on practical sessions and projects, you'll reinforce your learning, while developing crucial real-world engineering skills.

By the end, you'll be able to confidently identify key digital components, understand microcontroller architecture, and describe assembly language commands - ready for advanced study and career opportunities across electronics and computer engineering.

You’ll examine the classification, evaluation, analysis, and selection of different materials and their fabrication techniques in the context of mechanical and manufacturing engineering.

When you complete this module successfully, you'll be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of theories and underlying principles involved in engineering materials
• Compare and contrast the properties, performances and limitations of different types of engineering materials
• Select the most appropriate materials for engineering applications
• Demonstrate an understanding of a wide range of conventional and advanced manufacturing techniques
• Describe different manufacturing techniques, their capabilities and limitations
• Describe how properties of engineering materials are influenced by manufacturing techniques and use

In this team-based module, you'll work through the full product design process, considering economic, social and sustainability aspects at each stage.

You'll learn how to adopt an inclusive approach, make group decisions, and report on your processes. You'll also identify and take up professional development opportunities to get yourself career-ready.

This module will see you apply and analyse techniques and use simulation tools for space systems mission design.

In this module, you'll analyse radio receivers and digital transmissions, with focuses on modulation schemes, thermal thresholds and line-of-sight communications. You'll evaluate and optimise the performance of existing communications systems, as you enhance your experience designing robust real-world telecommunication solutions.

Working independently, with guidance from your supervisor, you'll hone your project management abilities while analysing problems, producing solutions, and reflecting on your work through reports and presentations. On completion, you'll be able to demonstrate your professional capabilities in handling complex problems and technical uncertainty.

In this module you'll examine and develop applications to engineering problems involving solid mechanics, and be assessed through computer-based tests, a group technical report and a written exam. After this module you'll be able to analyse the theoretical bases of the Finite Element Formulation, and apply this to relevant problems in solid mechanics.

In this module, you'll consider national and international responses to global environmental issues, using perspectives drawn from risk management, life-cycle analysis and security frameworks. You'll appraise materials and processes, technical innovations and ethical behaviour, in preparation for careers that can drive positive change.

This module will see you simulate space designs and manage mission data.

You'll analyse and assess the suitability and risks of spacecraft materials and components.
