International Year One in Engineering

You will be provided with an introduction to a computer algebra system as a learning tool for basic algebraic techniques. You will be taken through a revision of elementary coordinate geometry, trigonometry and complex numbers. The module provides a foundation in engineering mathematics for students in mechanical and electrical engineering. Specialised software will support the delivery of this module.

Academic English Skills aims to provide thorough training in the language and related academic skills which will enable international students to best achieve their academic potential at university. Our Academic English programme is validated by UK ENIC, the UK government agency responsible for providing information and expert opinion on qualifications and skills worldwide. 

You will develop awareness and competency in a range of language-related academic skills, including the processes of academic writing, effective and extensive reading strategies, effective participation in seminars and delivery of presentations, and listening to and recording information effectively from lectures. You will also develop the accuracy and range of written and spoken language required to use language effectively and appropriately, with clarity and confidence in an academic context. 

Alongside your classes, your studies will be supported by an online learning platform, providing you with a range of tasks and activities specifically designed to develop and extend your language and academic skills outside the classroom and to give you more control over your own learning. 

The module aims to provide an introduction to diodes, transistors and the small-signal equivalent circuits as well as the use of operational amplifiers.

This module will introduce the essential principles of applied mechanics. Students will cover principles such as kinematics and dynamics, work, energy power, impulse and momentum.

The module aims to provide an introduction to Boolean Logic and the operation of combinational and sequential digital logic circuits.

The module aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of the essential mathematics underpinning electrical and electronic engineering. The module will develop intellectual abilities in selecting and applying appropriate circuit analysis techniques for analysing various electrical and electronic circuits.

You will learn how to safely carry out a range of basic workshop procedures using standard processes, and you should be able to demonstrate a commitment to undertaking the on-going personal development required to become a professional engineer. You will also carry out an experimental procedure in a range of different engineering disciplines and process data collected during an experiment to produce a formal written report with conclusions.

The module aims to introduce the essential principles of material science and engineering with reference to an essential element in mechanical design and materials section. 

The aim of this module is to introduce electromechanical systems focusing on applications in the areas of Mechanical Engineering. The module covers the essential concepts of electrical circuits including AC and DC systems and digital electronics.

The students undertaking this module will gain lab experience within the university. They will gain experience in practical design of electronic circuits including prototyping and PCB design and manufacture as well as develop ability in data manipulation.

The aim of this module is to provide an overview of the operation of modern microprocessors/microcontrollers and the mechanisms used to represent and process information in both low level and high level languages.

You will be taught how to apply the laws of thermodynamics to open and closed systems, and how to analyse heat and work transfers during thermodynamic processes and cycles. You will also analyse hydrostatics and fluid flow, and apply the governing equations of fluid dynamics for simplified flow.

Progression to MEng possible, only once student is at university and meets specific conditions:

• Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng (Hons)
