Modules

Our carefully refined modules equip you with practical skills for success in manufacturing through eight core modules and a final research project.

Build your expertise in creating precise computer models for engineering applications. In this module, you’ll learn to model entities, surfaces, and solids using CATIA, while mastering Mechanism Synthesis and Analysis. You’ll also leverage MATLAB and Simulink software to solve advanced engineering problems, equipping you with the skills to tackle real-world challenges in CAE.

Master the principles of quality assurance and advanced reliability engineering to enhance the performance and safety of manufacturing operations. In this module, you’ll apply proven techniques to optimise maintenance, improve maintainability, and ensure the highest operational standards across manufacturing plants.

Develop a comprehensive understanding of logistics, supply chain dynamics, and material flow. In this module, you'll how information systems drive supply chain relationships, optimise customer service, and enhance operational efficiency to ensure seamless and effective supply chain management.

Cultivate systematic thinking and gain the expertise to model and analyse complex systems. In this module, you'll delve into flexible manufacturing, machine setup, and other critical elements, empowering you to manage and optimise advanced manufacturing processes efficiently.

Explore key automation concepts, including actuators, sensors, and best practices. In this module, you'll develop the skills to select the right automation and control methods for specific processes, empowering you to optimise manufacturing systems effectively.

Prepare to develop and present detailed engineering design proposals. In this module, equip yourself with a strong understanding of research methodologies, empowering you to communicate your findings effectively in engineering contexts.

Gain a solid understanding of measurement theory and the principles behind modern measurement techniques. In this module, you'll explore the capabilities of advanced measuring machines and enhance your skills in data analysis to perform precise and accurate engineering assessments.

Explore the full product development lifecycle, from manufacturing and global engineering to business model innovation. In this module, you'll arm yourself key skills in project innovation planning, preparing you for successful business development in a global manufacturing environment.

Hone your problem-solving, communication, and project management skills through independent research. Under the guidance of an academic supervisor, you'll conduct an in-depth investigation on a relevant topic, culminating in a comprehensive research report.
