General Engineering (BEng) Beng (Hon) Beng (Hon) Beng (Hon)

General Engineering allows you to pick up important skills from Mechanical, Basic Electronics and Systems engineering to apply it your field of interest. It also allows you to get involved in solving problems facing businesses in the real world, using the pioneering ‘Concept, Design, Implementation and Operation’ (CDIO) approach.<br/><br/>CDIO is an international engineering education model, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry related engineering challenges. We are one of the only handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.<br/><br/>You will gain key employability skills and be encouraged to take up placements, helping you to go straight into employment upon completion of your studies.<br/><br/>You will explore Areas including:<br/><br/><br/>- Engineering Mechanics<br/><br/><br/>- 3D modelling, design and analysis<br/><br/><br/>- Materials and manufacturing Engineering:<br/><br/><br/>- Control systems, instrumentation and electronics<br/><br/><br/>General Engineers have the ability to adapt to any engineering field and have potential job prospects ranging from automotive, manufacturing and energy to systems, construction and control and beyond. During your General Engineering Degrees, you will develop engineering skills as well as employability skills, helping you become industry ready.<br/><br/>Specialist facilities<br/>Our Verena Holmes building is home to the engineering workshop, mechatronics lab, makerspace and mechanical physics lab, complete with industry standard equipment.<br/><br/>Location<br/>This course is run at our Canterbury Campus in Kent. Canterbury is just 50 miles south-east of London and less than an hour by high-speed train from St Pancras. Located on a UNESCO World Heritage Site the campus offers state-of-the-art buildings, right in the centre of a vibrant and world-famous cathedral city. You’ll benefit from a campus with excellent learning and teaching resources, music venues, a superb sports centre, a well-stocked bookshop and plenty of coffee bars and places to eat. A short walk away is Augustine House our award-winning library and home to a vast range of learning resources and student support teams.
