(BEng) Mechanical Engineering with Robotics (with an industrial placement year)
Entry for 2023
FHEQ level
This course is set at Level 6 in the national Framework for Higher Education Qualifications.
Course learning outcomes
C1 Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study
C2 Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles
C3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed
C4 Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address complex problems
C5 Design solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards
C6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems
C7 Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems and minimise adverse impacts
C8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct
C9 Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity
C10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks
C11 Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion
C12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems
C13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations
C14 Discuss the role of quality management systems and continuous improvement in the context of complex problems
C15 Apply knowledge of engineering management principles, commercial context, project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual property rights
C16 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team
C17 Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences
C18 Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
