Description
This practical module sees students developing core skills required for degrees in engineering and computer science and applying them through individual and group projects. Students will be introduced to the variety of roles available within the engineering profession, as well as the skills required of successful engineers/computer scientists. They will make use of reflection and reflective writing to engage in self-directed and lifelong learning.
Students will be supported to develop an ability to identify and analyse real-world problems and research potential solutions based on multiple sources of technical and non-technical information. They will develop an understanding and application of systems thinking, engineering design approaches, and an awareness of the way in which the engineering profession impacts society, including the ethical implications of engineering practice and the need for consideration of risk, security, sustainability, equality, and diversity.
Students will put these skills into practice, both in teams and as individuals, when carrying out different activities and tasks associated with themed projects. This module aims to mimic the engineering workplace, giving students an enhanced understanding of what it is to be an engineer, promoting a positive work ethic, promoting self-reliance, and increasing employability skills.
The module is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars/workshops, and facilitated project activities in a studio-style setting to carry out practical work. Students will be using presentations, individual and group reports, reflective logs, and portfolios to demonstrate their learning.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate problem-solving skills through participation in different real-world based projects in relation to the role of engineering sciences.
- Conduct research, analyse, and critically evaluate both technical and non-technical information to contribute towards engineering work.
- Communicate efficiently and effectively via a range of media on different topics and for different technical and non-technical audiences.
- Understand concepts that contribute to successful and responsible engineering practice and how they are managed.
