BEng Energy Engineering no longer recruiting

Total credits: 360

Entry requirements:

Normally 3 A-levels or equivalent at grades AAA, including mathematics and physics or chemistry. GCSEs or equivalent in English, mathematics, physics and chemistry are required if not offered at A- or AS-level.

Alternative qualifications (eg IB, Foundation or Access course, Scottish Highers, etc) at a comparable level will also be considered.

Relevant QAA Subject Benchmark Groups:

Engineering

Programme specification:

At the end of the programme students should be able to:
- understand basic and detailed engineering concepts relevant to the energy and environmental engineering industries;
- use accurate standards of analysis and enquiry relevant to the industry;
- develop and evaluate engineering solutions to a range of basic and complex problems encountered within the industry;
- use a range of techniques to initiate and undertake the analysis of data and information relevant to the industry;
- demonstrate appropriate technical competencies relevant to the industry;
- use a range of acquired knowledge, abilities and personal skills in order to pursue a successful career in the energy and environmental engineering industries.

The modular structure adopted in level 1 (including bridging modules in mathematics, physics and chemistry) allows students with a varied A-level background to become familiar with relevant underpinning science and engineering. Students will also be introduced to a range of transferable technical skills designed to enable them to analyse and communicate technical information and data during the course and in their later professional career, together with an introduction to design project working as a team.

Level 2 is designed to introduce more complex science and engineering concepts and includes individual and group project work as well as practical laboratory classes.

Level 3 provides an appropriate standard of subject-specific material to enable BEng Honours graduates to pursue a successful career in the industry. Students also undertake a major group design project.
