The complexity and sophistication of modern engineering requires a multidisciplinary approach. The industry is therefore seeking engineers with broad knowledge and skills in more than one of the traditional engineering disciplines.
The BEng Integrated Engineering is a multidisciplinary degree built around electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering, which aims to produce experts in the areas of manufacturing, mechatronics, computer-aided design, and renewable energy. Your broad knowledge of various aspects of engineering will ensure you can interact with engineers from all the traditional engineering disciplines in any multidisciplinary environment. You will also become familiar with the role of engineering within the business environment, as particular attention is paid to economics, management and law.
This course includes the opportunity to take a year of industrial placement between your second and third years of academic study. With this option, we will support you in finding a placement that will allow you to experience a professional working environment. If you are successful in securing a placement you will be paid a salary and will enhance your employability skills through direct experience of working in business, industry or the public sector.
Note that if Chartered status is important to you, an MEng course may offer a quicker, more direct route than a BEng course.
Other integrated engineering courses available may include:
- The opportunity to follow a sandwich year in industry is also available if you choose the relevant five-year MEng degree option
- The opportunity to study abroad at a partner institution for one semester if you choose the relevant MEng (International) degree option.
