Course Summary

Combine modules from engineering analysis and technology. Shape a qualification that suits your career aspirations. You’ll develop a range of transferable skills, such as creative problem solving, effective communication, project management and concept realisation. You’ll also develop a professional approach to your work and extend your engineering skills. Through the project module, and as part of a small project team, you’ll design and present a solution to a real-world engineering e knowledge and practical experience you gain during your postgraduate studies mean you’ll be well placed to take advantage of the many senior engineering and technology employment opportunities available in the UK and abroad. At the same time, you’ll be developing capabilities that are highly prized by employers in a variety of other sectors, where your logical thinking, numeracy skills, and team working abilities will be in demand.

Modules

Engineering is at the heart of modern life. Today engineers use computers and software in the design and manufacture of most of the products, processes and systems that make up our lifestyles. This module introduces the finite element method and instils the need for comprehensive evaluation and checking when interpreting results. It covers basic theory; modelling, meshing and analysing component models for stresses, deflections, temperatures and vibrations under operating conditions and loads; treatment of boundary conditions and restraints; and examples of good practice for safe and effective application in use.
