Introduction Engineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of the UK. It is the profession responsible for the creation of all material objects and systems necessary for modern life from concept to customer to decommissioning. Engineering is fundamental to the creation and sustainability of the environment itself. Your studies at Bradford will be a foundation for life aimed at developing an understanding of technical principles and competence in their application and a wide range of personal and professional skills. An excellent way to develop these skills is to undertake an industrial placement as an integral part of your degree studies. Upon graduation you will have the capacity for professional growth, which may include seeking Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. To achieve CEng status you will also need to complete a period of postgraduate professional development in industry. In addition, the ability of an engineer to think clearly and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in financial services, teaching, law, etc a real foundation for life. The School places emphasis on both teaching and research. We have particular research strengths in automotive engineering (especially component design and manufacturing quality); materials engineering (including the creation of complex components from powders, composites, and polymers); computer modelling and design (creation, virtual testing, and prototyping). We conduct this research jointly with many companies including Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and this work shapes and informs our undergraduate programmes. Programme Aims The programme is intended to: Produce graduates who possess the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to be creative and competitive. Produce graduates who possess the discipline specific and Personal skills to critically evaluate information, assumptions, arguments and concepts in order to solve engineering problems. Produce graduates who possess the qualities and skills to pursue programmes of further study, or to move directly into responsible employment where they will manage their own learning. Provide the educational requirements (in compliance with UK-SPEC) when combined with a period of further learning to permit progression to Chartered Membership of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and registration with EC UK as a Chartered Engineer. Programme Learning Outcomes To be eligible for the award of Certificate of Higher Education at FHEQ level 4, students will be able to: LO1.

Curriculum The map of the curriculum, which you will study, is detailed on the table below showing core (C) and optional (O) modules. Each year, or stage, of an Honours programme comprises 2 semesters with 60 credits being studied in each semester. For 10 credit modules all of the teaching and assessment is undertaken in the same semester. Some of the 20 credit modules have teaching and assessment, which occurs in both semesters. Stage 1 [Level 4] Module Code Module Title Type Credits Level Study period ENM4003-B Engineering Mathematics C 20 4 1, 2 ENB4004-B Computer Aided Engineering C 20 4 1, 2 MAE4007-B Materials & Structural C 20 4 1, 2 Mechanics MAE4008-B Skills for Engineering C 20 4 1, 2 MAE4012-B Machines Mechanics & C 20 4 1, 2 Mechatronics MAE4009-A Fluid Mechanics 1 C 10 4 1 MAE4010-A Thermodynamics 1 C 10 4 2 At the end of stage 1, students will be eligible to exit with the award of Certificate of Higher Education if they have successfully completed at least 120 credits and achieved the award learning outcomes.

Placement and/or Study Abroad This programme provides the option for students to undertake a work placement or period of study abroad between Stages 2 and 3. Students wishing to take this option will be registered for the 4 year programme. For further information about study abroad opportunities please refer to http://www.bradford.ac.uk/international/erasmus-and-international-exchanges/ Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy The teaching and assessment strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme. The approaches adopted are outlined below: Teaching and learning methods implemented to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the programme include formal lectures (including those from Visiting Lecturers), case studies, tutorial exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual and team-based project work. The method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework. The methods implemented in developing your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration and supervised research or project work. The methods of assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework and more particularly in your Final Year Project work. The methods implemented in developing your practical skills include demonstrations and practical sessions linked with the taught modules. You will also design and Route Code: MECENG University of Bradford 5

operate equipment and/or procedures and use control and measuring instruments under supervision during your project work. The methods of assessment of practical skills include feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules. Also a large part of the mark of the Project report will be attributed to the Experimental Method and Equipment and the Presentation & Discussion of Results. The methods implemented in developing your transferable skills are implicit in the programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for students to develop and manage their learning. The University of Bradford modus operandi, Making Knowledge Work, is imbedded in the philosophy of this programme, The School of Engineering and Informatics is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project work.
