About this course
BEng (Hons) in General Engineering BEng (Hons), an engineering degree centred on multi-disciplinary technical foundations and specialised applications. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Project Management, Engineering Design, Clinical Skills, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete an individual research project in the final year under academic supervision. The first year covers core analytical and practical foundations through Mathematics for Engineers, Interdisciplinary Design, Programming for Engineers, Structural Mechanics, Materials and Process Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. The second year builds on this knowledge with compulsory modules such as Fluid Mechanics, Design and Mathematics, Thermodynamics and heat transfer, and Mechatronics and Electrical Power, alongside optional choices including Structural Analysis and Design, Energy Materials and Sustainable Manufacturing Processes, and Control and Analogue Electronics. Later stages and unassigned modules offer numerous specialist pathways covering biomedical engineering, civil infrastructure, electrical systems, mechanical topics, aerospace design, and sustainability. Optional modules allow learners to explore advanced topics like Control Systems Design, Robotic Systems, Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Imaging, Clinical Engineering and Computational Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, Advanced Buildings and Bridges, Urban Water Systems, Energy Systems and Power Electronics, Electromagnetic Fields and Devices, Integrated Electronic and Semiconductor Systems, Machine Learning and Optimisation, Digital Signal Processing, Advanced Software Engineering, Systems for Sustainability, Energy Engineering, Building Performance Simulation and Analysis, Environmental Engineering, Fundamental and Numerical Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, Vibration and Control, Structural Integrity with Finite Element Analysis, Thermodynamics and Propulsion, Space Systems Engineering and Spacecraft Design, Aircraft Design and Aircraft Dynamics, and Aerodynamics and CFD. All students undertake a substantial Individual Project to demonstrate bachelor-level competence.
