The BEng (Hons) Operations Engineering is an exciting programme offering a degree level qualification to engineers from a wide range of backgrounds.
The variety and complexity of modern equipment requires process and maintenance engineers to possess relevant multidisciplinary skills in order to analyse and specify faults and effect the relevant action. The course welcomes applicants from a wide range of engineering backgrounds as the course modules cover a wide range of both mechanical and electrical disciplines.
This course will provide you with technical engineering discipline knowledge and skills, helping you to understand engineering principles that underpin the design and operation of plant engineering systems and equipment. You will gain knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established principles in your field of study and the way in which those principles have developed. You will acquire skills in analytical methods, plant and process principles, project management, engineering science and programmable logic controllers.
Modules you may study include:
- Principles of Energy Engineering and Operations
- Mechanical design and Failure of Components
- Electrical and electronic Power and Drive Systems
- Turbo-machinery and Power Generation
- Computer Aided Engineering
Assessment is completed using a variety of methods including formal examination, case studies, written assignments, report writing, assignments that relate to the work place, plus practical projects.
This progression route can be offered to students with 120 credits at Level 5 (relative to a suitable engineering discipline) which opens entry to those with a suitable HND. The progression route will allow students to complete a further 120 credits at Level 6 that include a self-directed dissertation in the final year. The BEng progression route is studied two evenings per week.
