Program Overview

The BEng (Hons) Integrated Engineering course at the University of Plymouth is an interdisciplinary engineering degree for the digital age. It will provide you with the skills and competences needed to operate effectively as a modern professional engineer across traditional boundaries.

To do this the course draws on expertise from across the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics with a range of modules that include civil and mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, robotics engineering, and computing and mathematics. This course is subject to approval*.

Key features

The BEng (Hons) Integrated Engineering course has been carefully developed to respond to the growing need in industry for engineers who understand the interconnectivity of engineering principles demanded in the modern digital age of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The course will provide you with a sound understanding of the fundamental principles of contemporary engineering and its applications, in an uncertain and changing profession, one dominated by rapidly developing cyber-physical systems.

The enhanced benefits and key features of studying this degree, in contrast to single-discipline courses, are;

• The development of key transferable critical-thinking skills and the synthesis and integration of engineering competencies.
• The acquisition of greater interdisciplinary knowledge leading to greater engineering creativity.
• The opportunity to undertake worthwhile project work across traditional engineering discipline boundaries.
• Enhanced and consolidated understanding developed from the blending of ideas associated with different engineering disciplines so leading to better problem solving skills and increased professional flexibility.
• Improved employment opportunities on graduation to meet the future skills challenges presented by Industry 4.0.
