BEng Engineering Management
About this course
BEng (Hons) Engineering Management is a four-year engineering degree combining technical systems, manufacturing processes and business administration. Core topics include Programming, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Accounting, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme includes a compulsory industrial placement year alongside optional opportunities for international academic study or study in the USA. The first year establishes foundational concepts through modules such as Engineering Mathematics, Design and CAE 1, The Global Engineer, and Materials and Manufacturing 1. The second year progresses into specialized operations with Financial Awareness for Engineers, Engineering Programming, Manufacturing Systems, and Design and CAE 2, alongside optional choices like Digital Transformation and Automation. Year three consists of either the Industrial Placement, International Academic Studies, or Study USA. The final year integrates advanced concepts through Business Strategy, Design and Industry, Production Systems, Research Methods and Management, and a compulsory BEng Final Year Project, while allowing students to select from optional subjects such as Nanotechnology, Environmental Engineering, Smart Manufacturing Technologies, and Advanced CAE.
