MEng Integrated Engineering Modules
Foundation Year
- Creativity and Fundamental Engineering Skills - Explore the range of technical and non-technical skills required within engineering and technology including laws of physics, principles mathematics, and communication, collaboration and digital skills.
- Engineered Structures and Mechanisms - Investigate different types of engineered objects and how they work. You'll carry out tests, and work with models of real structures and moving artefacts such as buildings and transport.
- Engineering and Technology as Problem-solving - Develop your understanding of how engineering and technology fit within a wider societal context, through the solving of a systems-based problem that would pose real-world repercussions. Along the way, you'll further develop your skills in maths, modelling, producing graphs and using digital tools.
- Engineering and Technology Project - Apply your learning across the year to an individual project, finding out about various engineering and technology disciplines and the roles they play in different industries and business sectors, and considering your own future career options
Level 4
- The 21st-Century Engineer - Start your study by building a physical and digital artefact. Along the way, you'll be introduced to the different disciplines of engineering, the influential role of the engineer in society, and the responsibilities we carry as professional engineers.
- Thermodynamics & Fluids - Here, you will analyse and improve a fluid flow system. You'll combine observation, an awareness of how energy is converted to be put to work, and a knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, phenomena that underpin the engineer's understanding of how fluids and gases move in engineered and natural systems.
- Statics and Dynamics of Simple Mechanisms - You will design and validate a single-element mechanism under a straightforward load case. This includes consideration of static and dynamic behaviour, properties and selection of material(s), and awareness of material treatments.
- Fundamentals of Analogue and Digital Circuits - You will specify and build an open loop control system that meets the needs of a given application. You will be able to differentiate between analogue and digital electronics approaches, and apply circuit theory, circuit laws and principles of digital logic.
Level 5
- Creating Social Value through Engineering - This is your opportunity to integrate your skills and knowledge from Level 4 to work on a community-based project that creates social value. You'll develop key mindsets relating to stakeholders, equity, inclusive design, prototyping, and new product development, as well as learning some basic project management tools.
- Energy Engineering - You will propose and specify an energy solution for a specific application. You'll develop and apply your knowledge of thermodynamics including energy/power cycles, heat transfer, and the engineering components and systems that deliver energy.
- Statics and Dynamics of Complex Mechanisms - You'll build on your knowledge from level 4 to design and model a more complex (multi-element) structure under differing load cases, including selection of appropriate material(s) from a wider, more specialist range. You will address more complex structures and load cases, and explore the advantages of multi-component materials.
- Control and Instrumentation - You will monitor and model a predictable (LTI) closed-loop control system. To achieve this you'll develop and apply an understanding of open- and closed-loop systems, feedback system design, control system performance and analysis and modelling approaches.
Level 6
- People and Projects in Engineering - You'll deliver an engineering project which you will design, plan and execute. You'll explore the project lifecycle as a way of understanding and breaking down projects, and you'll learn to use a range of tools to work within and manage projects effectively.
- Data-Driven Engineering - In this module you will master principles of sampling, design of experiments, and the fundamentals of data science. You'll gather, combine, clean, and manipulate more than one big dataset and present an data analysis that facilitates decision-making in the context of an engineering process or facility.
- Manufacturing as Integrated Engineering - This module presents manufacturing as a context in which materials, structures, dynamics, electronic, control, thermodynamics, energy and power can all be observed, and challenges you to identify benefits and strategies for Industry 4.0 approaches. You will draw on an understanding of the manufacturing environment, and the key mindsets that underpin productive manufacturing (including the management of cost, quality, legal responsibilities, workforce, and wellbeing and safety).
- Bachelor's Project - This module builds on the knowledge, experience and skills you have gained in the your course to date, and allows you to demonstrate your capability in a self-managed innovative project.
Level 7
- Research and Modelling - Here, you will apply computational engineering modelling tools in a research context, typically CFD (computational fluid dynamics) or FEA (finite element analysis) to predict the performance of an engineered system involving complex phenomena such as fluid dynamics or structural integrity. You will explore research methodologies and develop your practical skills in research design.
- Lifetime Performance of Engineering Assets - In this module, your skillset and integrated approach is applied to a durable engineering application, providing an opportunity to explore the management of physical assets (e.g. structures, water/waste infrastructure, energy generation) with a firm eye on their lifecycle performance. You'll draw on engineering asset management frameworks that carefully integrate different engineering disciplines; nuanced financial treatments; maintenance, reliability, project, and risk mindsets; and critical perspectives on sustainability.
- Master's Project - You'll work individually on a demanding engineering challenge for an extended period, typically with an industrial or community partner on a research-based or self-defined challenge. You'll address an industrial or social need by synthesising technical complexity, novelty, an integrated approach, and a requirement to meet the needs of varied stakeholders.
Module Delivery
The course is taught one module (30 credits) at a time over an 8 week period.
Students on the standard four year degree course will take four modules over an academic year (120 credits and 32 taught weeks per year). Students on the three year accelerated degree course will average 5.3 modules over an academic year, lasting up to 46 weeks of teaching.
The engineering industry desperately needs graduates with subject knowledge and excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply these skills to real-world environments. We secure your employability through an immersive, employer-engaged course offering where knowledge, contextual understanding, work experience, employability skills, and perspective are integrated within.
We integrate our partners into every stage of learning. Our model of working on real-world challenges brings you into contact with employers of varying sizes and from a multitude of sectors including security, health, energy, sustainability, food production and infrastructure, working on projects that enhance their business. Your study at NMITE will be done in partnership with industry, guaranteeing that the learning taking place is not only up to date, but reflects a real engineering environment. This interaction with many partners will allow you to build an extensive network and demonstrate your engineering ability to a wide range of future employers.
Our MEng in Integrated Engineering will equip you with a wide-ranging and versatile knowledge and skills base, allowing you to make a real impact in a broad range of engineering sectors, including energy, utilities, defence, transport, manufacturing, consulting, and SMEs. Our MEng opens the door to engineering roles such as quality/compliance engineer, design/R&D engineer, technology consulting engineer, and manufacturing/automation engineer. The final level of your MEng degree will allow you to take your knowledge to a greater depth, and to focus in on an area of your own interest, through project work. An MEng degree provides the most direct way of meeting the educational requirements for successive registration as a Chartered Engineer (subject to accreditation), and graduates typically command higher starting salaries than those with the equivalent BEng. Graduating with a MEng in Integrated Engineering can also allow you to progress onto further study, such as a specialised MSc or a PhD.
