BEng ENGINEERING
BENG ENGINEERING
All engineering courses within the School share an integrated programme structure during the first year to demonstrate the potential breadth of engineering as a subject discipline. In subsequent years you can tailor your course to a chosen engineering pathway or continue to pursue a more broad-based approach. We work closely with other UEA Schools including Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, to ensure your learning is informed by a range of expertise.
You’ll benefit from and experience our connections with local industry during the first year of this three-year course. You’ll gain an insight to the many career paths engineering will open up to you, through introductions to role-models and potential opportunities for short-term internships and placements. We actively encourage you to develop your networking abilities, learning to make the most of your exposure to our industrial contacts.
About
Without engineering, would there be technical innovation? Without innovation, could society progress? Engineers look for questions and seek out solutions. They apply, devise and design. Engineers have an incredibly significant role in shaping the future within what is now recognized as the next industrial revolution.
To prepare for the exciting engineering challenges of this future you could graduate as one of a new breed of highly versatile engineering graduates, possessing the capacity to find solutions to society’s biggest challenges. We aim to produce pioneering graduates, capable of supporting a changing industry through their intellectual flexibility. So we provide you with integrated learning opportunities from the start, supporting the development of hard engineering knowledge and skills, around engineering principles and theories, as well as soft engineering skills such as dealing with clients, team work and connecting with wider stakeholder groups.
