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 a deep understanding of fundamental and advanced technical principles, analytical tools, and competence in their application together with a wide range of management, 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. The MEng programme sets out (i) to give technical depth across the discipline and in relevant specialist applications of technology, (ii) to provide breadth to encourage innovators and (iii) facilitate exposure to other engineering disciplines. Upon graduation you will have the capacity for meaningful interdisciplinary interaction, leadership roles, and professional growth, which may include seeking Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. To achieve CEng status you will also need to complete a period of postgraduate professional development in industry. In addition,

University of Bradford 1

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. IMechE accreditation aims to ensure that the MEng degree meets the highest international standards.

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, Cummins, and this work shapes and informs our undergraduate programmes. During the later years of your MEng studies you can expect to interact with the School’s research activity. We aim to produce MEng graduates who are imaginative, innovative, versatile and competitive, who will be able to progress rapidly to professional positions of responsibility with minimal additional training, and who can provide technical, managerial and entrepreneurial leadership in specialist/interdisciplinary projects

Optional modules selected in Stage 3 cannot be selected again in Stage 4

Only 20 Credits of Stage 3 modules can be taken in Stage 4.

The curriculum may change, subject to the University's programme approval, monitoring and review procedures.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The teaching and learning 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 strategies and methods implemented are:

The 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 group work. The method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

University of Bradford 9

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. You will develop skills of working with other engineering disciplines particularly in the Interdisciplinary Competitive Design module. In Stage 3 you will also learn the skills associated with designing and executing your own research project. The methods of assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework and more particularly in your stage 3 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 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 the students’ 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, particularly in the area of Engineering, Design and Technology, which is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. In particular, you will learn skills project management and team working skills in the stage 1, 3 and 4 group design projects. The Coaching Development module allows you to develop and practise mentoring skills through working with stage 1 students. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project work.
