All engineering courses within the School of Engineering share an integrated programme structure during the first year to demonstrate the potential breadth of the discipline. In subsequent years you can tailor your course or continue to pursue a broad-based approach. We work closely with other UEA Schools including Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so your learning is informed by a range of expertise.

You’ll benefit from and experience our connections with local industry right from the start of your course. The Institute of Productivity, within UEA’s School of Engineering offers a space for connection as industry shares and works within the same environment as our students. This connection will help to inform and support your decisions concerning the many career pathways engineering will open up to you, and which one you might focus one as you progress through your studies. Through meeting role-models, attending site visits and networking, we aim to help you decide which engineering sector you may wish to consider spending a year working in industry between your second and third year.

About

This course aims to develop future leaders in the engineering sectors. Demand for Engineers is high as a widening lack of skills in the sector is not supporting the need for those engineers who will take us through the digital age. The School of Engineering at UEA is mindful of the need to develop this new breed of engineers and its Institute of Productivity was established to support both the demand for the volume and characteristics of the engineers that are needed for the future.

Our integrated Master’s course will help you understand the technological and digital developments that will shape the energy industry of the future. And you’ll be given integrated learning opportunities from the outset that often reflect a real industrial context, supporting the development of your soft and hard engineering knowledge and skills. These learning opportunities will be consolidated in industry while on placement.

Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the courses listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the regular review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. Changes may for example consist of variations to the content and method of delivery of programmes, courses and other services, to discontinue programmes, courses and other services and to merge or combine programmes or courses. The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will inform students.

Assessment for Year 1

Our assessment strategies are as varied as our teaching. We're aware that you might prefer to demonstrate your learning in different ways, so our methods of assessment are designed to give you opportunities to shine through a variety of methods. Types of assessment include written work, poster presentations, illustrative sketches and traditional examinations.

Structure

In your first year you’ll gain a grounding in engineering mathematics and principles, supported by a broad introduction to subjects that are important to the development of a modern engineer. Engineering Studies will allow you to study a number of more focused engineering disciplines. Introductions to mechanical, electronic and electrical and energy engineering are delivered through lectures, fieldwork, and design-and-build tasks.

After these sub-discipline introductions you’ll be given the flexibility to change your degree path based on what you’ve learnt. You can choose your preferred path at any point before the start of your second year or, with appropriate module choices, further delay the decision until the end of second year.

During this year you will also be supported in connecting to other Placement students with the support of our Placement and Internships Officer, so that you can share experiences with other like-minded students.

Teaching and Learning

Your Engineering degree course will combine lectures, workshops and tutorials. You’ll be asked to apply the knowledge you’ve gained to a research problem or a series of questions, or to solve a design problem. This application of knowledge will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of the material and help you to retain what you have learnt.

Throughout your studies you will develop skill sets in line with the guidance provided by the Engineering Council. That means you’ll graduate with the capabilities you need to get your career off to a flying start, including being an effective communicator, digitally literate, and capable of dealing with complex problems where you have insufficient data.

You’ll develop your communication skills through written reports, oral presentations and workshop discussions. And workshops will also give you time to develop digital skillsets in computer analysis and design.

What’s more, we’ll provide you with multiple opportunities to connect with industry, giving you the opportunity to develop your networking abilities and make professional contacts.

By combining excellence in teaching with industrial connections, we aim to secure your success as you progress through your programme and beyond.

Independent study

Independent study will be guided by the requirements of your research projects, design work and problem-solving exercises. You can expect to explore your module content widely, through which you’ll develop the independent learning skills so highly valued by employers. This will culminate in the development and presentation of your final year multi-disciplinary or industry-linked project.
