Engineering Foundation

Year 1

Compulsory modules

• Fundamentals and Applications of Technology

  This is your introduction to the fundamental principles of physics for engineering and technology applications. What you’ll study and learn can be brought to life through a design project where you’ll be able to apply your theoretical knowledge to the project you will have designed and built such as a mediaeval siege engine or trebuchet.

• Engineering Applications

  This is a practical module that will introduce to you aspects of the design and development of mechanical and electrical engineering components, devices and systems. You’ll use a  case study approach and you will use typical engineering products that will aid and develop your understanding of technology in practice.

• Basic Data Analysis

  You’ll study the fundamental concepts and basic techniques of statistical data analysis. To build your skills in interpretation and analysis, which will help to prepare you for more advanced study into data analysis.

• Basic Mechanical Engineering Principles

  You will study the basic mechanical engineering principles to build your knowledge and skills  in mechanical engineering. You’ll develop your knowledge to be able to apply these principles to typical engineering components, like devices and systems.
   

• Basic Electronic Engineering Principles

  Study and learn the basic electronic engineering principles to start building your understanding and to develop your active knowledge of electronic engineering. You’ll be able to interpret and apply these principles to typical engineering components, like devices and systems.

• Foundation Engineering Mathematics

  This is your introduction to Engineering Mathematics and its application to real-world problems. This is a post module, which provides you with the mathematics background of GCSE and A-level to support your further study in engineering.
