About this awardAn intensive one-year programme that is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor undergraduate degree in Engineering (BEng). Successful completion provides International students with a guaranteed progression route (i.e.: Automotive Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mechatronics) to Year Two of an Engineering undergraduate degree at Staffordshire University.

Integrated English and Academic Study SkillsThe English-based modules will develop your English communication skills and writing fluency and accuracy. You will also learn a range of study skills including writing and reading strategies, presentation and seminar participation, organisation of time and materials, meeting deadlines and responding to feedback.

Key features• Low cost for living and accommodation.• Located within easy reach of a number of major cities including: Birmingham, London and Manchester.• Once successfully completed, choose from a variety of accredited Engineering undergraduate degrees.

Engineering Subject Specific modulesThe Engineering-based modules will develop:• Key academic skills - report writing

(including Laboratory Reports), academic referencing and plagiarism, presentation skills and ethics. The practical use of industry standard engineering software.• Understanding of the fundamental elements of engineering science in the areas of Automotive, Electronic, Mechanical

Engineering and Mechatronics.• Your abilities to apply mathematical techniques to solve basic engineering problems.• Your engineering skills to use the appropriate methodology, practice and reporting of laboratory experiments with particular reference to mechanical and electrical science, including awareness of health and safety practices.• Your understanding of the engineering design process and to relate this to a range of activities including workshop principles, design software, and software programming.

Content and ModulesThe award consists of English language training and study of Engineering modules in your chosen area including Automotive, Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics.

Professional Engineering Skills/Design Principles for Distance Learners (15 credits)The module provides tuition and practice of some of the skills that are expected of an Engineering graduate.

Foundation Mathematics for Engineers (15 credits)Introduction to the vital mathematical ideas and techniques required for engineering applications including algebra, complex numbers, matrices, probability and calculus.

Mechanical Fundamentals (30 credits)Fundamental features of substance properties, providing basic definitions and introducing the underlying principles and concepts of a system approach to analysis.

Automotive Engineering Studies (30 credits)This module introduces the principles and operation of the major vehicle components including Engines, Vehicle Chassis, Transmission, Suspension and Steering.

Fundamentals of Technology (30 credits)This module covers workshop processes and health and safety management.

Electrical and Electronic Principles (30 credits)This module covers electrical and electronic principles to prepare students for study of Analogue and Digital Electronics, Communications, Signal Processing, and Electrical Engineering.

Measurements and Design (30 credits)This module will provide the practical skills and technical background of manufacturing, materials, design, measurements and instrumentation.

Introductory Mechanics and Fluids (15 credits)The material world that we are most familiar with comprises solids, liquids and gases. This module presents how these systems are modelled and analysed.

Communication Principles (15 credits)This module provides an introduction to analogue and digital telecommunication principles and techniques, both traditional and wireless/cellular telecommunications including.

Introductory Electronics (15 credits)This module covers the necessary electronic principles to prepare students for study of Analogue and Digital Electronics, Communications, and Signal Processing at Year 2and beyond.

Thermodynamics (15 credits)Thermodynamics is concerned with energy and energy transfer and is a fundamental area of study for all engineers.
