Created by industry-experts and shaped by regional engineering employers, this BEng (Hons) Engineering Design programme will equipped you with the knowledge and skillset you’ll need to be able to identify solutions and solve complex and interesting engineering challenges. <br/><br/>**Why study BEng (Hons) Engineering Design at BNU?**<br/>**Industry involvement**<br/>On this BEng (Hons) Engineering Design degree, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with industry-professionals and practitioners, as well as our working alumni. You’ll benefit from guest lectures, masterclasses and workshop sessions, live briefs, site visits and where possible, a contribution to the assessment of your work. <br/><br/>This course has been developed to mirror today’s Engineering Design industry and continues to work closely with its own Industry Advisory Board to ensure the curriculum and teaching is relevant. Working with professionals allows us to ensure the course will help you to develop the skills and knowledge the industry is looking for. You’ll engage in real-world, practical activities that will prepare you for a successful career.<br/><br/>**Facilities**<br/>During your time on the course you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art and brand-new Engineering and the Built Environment facilities, including;<br/><br/><br/>- Building Services Lab, to include Air Conditioning Trainer, Hydro-electric Turbine and Photovoltaic Cells<br/><br/><br/>- Concrete & Geotechnical Testing Lab, to include Slump Test, Concrete Density, Porosity, Flexural and Compression Testing, Soil Shear, Grading and Moisture Tests. <br/><br/><br/>- Fluids/Thermo/Hydraulics Lab, to include Pneumatics Workstation, Digital Hydraulic Bench, Axial Flow Pump and Surface Tension Balance. <br/><br/><br/>- Mechanical/Structural Lab, to include different Structural Test kits that will measure Deflection of Beams & Cantilevers, Bending Stress and Bending Moments<br/><br/><br/>- Electronics and High Voltage Lab, to include Power and Energy Electronics, Modern Electrical Machine Systems, Three Phase Power Systems<br/><br/><br/>- Automation/Manufacturing/General Workshop, to include 3D Metal Printer, Hardness Tester, Universal Tensile Testing, Impact Tester and and Dobot Smart Industry 4.0 Workstation<br/><br/><br/>- CAD Lab and Design Studio <br/><br/><br/>**Study Options**<br/>This programme runs as a full-time course with a foundation year, structured across four years. We also offer the course with an additional placement year in your third year. This five-year option allows you to get hands-on within the industry, before you complete your studies. <br/><br/>**What will I learn?**<br/>Whether you want to explore transportation industries: such as rail, aeronautical and automotive, & infrastructure engineering services, or clean energy oil and gas industries, as an engineer you’ll play a crucial role in the shaping of our future world. <br/><br/>This practical and hands-on engineering design course incorporates innovation and creativity at every stage of learning. During your time with us you’ll gain an extensive knowledge and critical understanding of professional ethics, social and cultural values in engineering. With a focus on sustainability, you’ll learn skills to help you identify and solve engineering problems, whilst meeting the needs of the industry and the forward-thinking sector.<br/><br/>Our specialist modules cover a broad range of areas to ensure you gain a holistic overview of the industry, from emerging and sustainable technologies, computer aided design and simulation and thermofluids, to electromechanical systems, robotics, automation and sustainable materials. <br/><br/>At all levels of the course, employability skills have been built into the programme to prepare you for work experience opportunities and to help you secure employment upon graduating. These activities will include practitioner visits, CV preparation, mock interviews, and production of a personal portfolio. Throughout the course you’ll have the opportunity to work on live briefs set by engineering employers, all of which can later be added to your portfolio.
