Course Content
The business model of the engineering industry is changing. This course provides the opportunity to study modules set within a multi-disciplinary environment. It provides a mix of engineering, business and management topics and a solid grasp of mathematical principles. A central theme running through the course is that of understanding entrepreneurial behaviour and how this interacts with innovation, technology, the economic environment and opportunity recognition.
The principal aims of the course are firstly, to develop future engineering managers, by equipping you with specialist technical knowledge of engineering principles, mathematical concepts and a sound understanding of effective management techniques. Secondly, to promote opportunities for team-based learning and problem-solving, using real-life industrial scenarios and thirdly, to develop business-thinking, creativity and innovation.
Course Structure
Years one and two:
In years one and two fundamental principles of engineering, mathematics and business are studied, providing a strong background and tools for more advanced specialisations in the final year.
