Course Summary

COURSE OVERVIEW

The digital age has revolutionised how engineers operate. This course will develop your building services expertise using building information modelling software systems such as Revit and Navisworks.

As part of your course you’ll:

  • Learn about intelligent buildings and automation
  • Develop knowledge of environmental science and the latest systems and innovation in energy conservation
  • Develop project management, leadership and team skills
  • Improve your technical engineering capabilities so you can take responsibility for building services and mechanical installations
  • Study project responsibility, lighting design, heating, thermal comfort, air conditioning, cooling systems, acoustic comfort and electrical services

Whether you graduated from our BSc (Hons) course or already work in industry as an associate engineer, we’ll equip you with the skills to play a leading role in the design, installation and management of building services.

Sustainability and the carbon reduction in buildings are key issues around the world and these themes will be central to your work. You’ll have the opportunity to use building information modelling that includes packages such as Revit, with a strong emphasis in design that meets environmental constraints.

You’ll be taught by staff who are practising engineers and who will give you a global stance on building services engineering, drawing international comparisons with systems and operational solutions from around the world.

This course is also available via distance learning, offering you the flexibility to study at a time and pace that suits you.

TEACHING & LEARNING

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Our silver status in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework, reflects our commitment to deliver high-quality teaching, learning and outcomes for our students.

Modules

Review and appraise approaches to building energy management systems and smart controls. Delivered by a project basis, you will develop your group working and interpersonal skills whilst engaging in real-life projects or simulations and tackling engineering design challenges.
