FHEQ level

This course is set at Level 7 (Masters) in the national Framework for Higher Education Qualifications.

Accreditation Marketing Text

Our courses are accredited to include the 2023 intake. We are currently in the process of securing re-accreditation for the 2024 intake onwards, according to the rules of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which require periodic re-accreditation.

Course learning outcomes

M1 Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering

M2 Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions. This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed

M3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed

M4 Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems

M5 Design solutions for complex problems that evidence some originality and meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards

M6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems

M7 Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems (to include the entire life-cycle of a product or process) and minimise adverse impacts

M8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct

M9 Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity

M10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks

M11 Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion

M12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems

M13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations

M14 Discuss the role of quality management systems and continuous improvement in the context of complex problems

M15 Apply knowledge of engineering management principles, commercial context, project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual property rights

M16 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance

M17 Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used

M18 Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD
