IntroductionEngineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of the UK. It is a “people serving” profession whose activities not only manage humankind’s environment but also create that environment itself. Your studies at Bradford will be a foundation for life aimed at developing an appreciation of engineering principles and technical competence in their application using a wide range of personal and professional skills. Our commitment to this integration is such that we strongly encourage you to undertake industrial placement as an integral part of your degree studies. Upon graduation you will have the capacity for professional growth to continue the path to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The ability of an engineer to think clearly and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in accountancy, teaching, law etc – a real foundation for life.

The School places emphasis on both teaching and research, believing them to be mutually dependent. With reference to teaching and learning, the School aims to produce graduates who aspire to challenging careers in industry, commerce and the public sector, and who will be able to move directly into responsible roles in

CurriculumThe map of the curriculum is detailed below showing core (C) and optional (O) modules. Each year, or stage of an Honours programme comprises 2 semesters with 60 credits being studied in each semester. In the final year, you will undertake an in-depth Project on a relevant topic agreed with an academic member of staff who will act as your supervisor; this final year Project (worth 30 credits) is the culmination of your learning experience and will further develop your research, analytical and communication skills. A key aspect of the project is the enhancement of


independent learning skills with each student setting their own objectives and taking responsibility for their own time management.

A distinctive aspect of the philosophy of the programme is that every student is strongly urged to undertake a one-year industrial placement, to gain practical experience of the work environment relevant to the programme. This enables you to relate the academic content of the programmes to real-life problems as well as greatly enhancing your longer-term employability after graduation. The School has many contacts with relevant organisations and arranges interviews with those in which you have indicated an interest. It is then your task to impress them sufficiently to gain an offer of employment.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The teaching and assessment strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme. The approaches adopted are outlined below:

Teaching and learning methods implemented to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the programme include formal lectures (including those from Visiting Lecturers), case studies, tutorial exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual and team-based project work. The method


of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

The methods implemented in developing your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration and supervised research or project work. The methods of assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework and more particularly in your Final Year Project work.

The methods implemented in developing your practical skills include demonstrations and practical sessions linked with the taught modules. You will also design and operate equipment and/or procedures and use control and measuring instruments under supervision during your project work. The methods of assessment of practical skills include feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules.

The methods implemented in developing your transferable skills are implicit in the programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for students to develop and manage their learning. The University of Bradford modus operandi, Making Knowledge Work, is imbedded in the philosophy of this programme, The School of Engineering and Informatics is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project work.

Assessment Regulations:
