Department: ENGINEERING

ENGI4043: DESIGN, MANUFACTURING AND MANAGEMENT 4D

Prerequisites

• Two 40 credit modules Engineering 3A (ENGI3102), Engineering 3B (ENGI3112), Engineering 3C (ENGI3122), Engineering 3D (ENGI3132), Engineering 3E (ENGI3142) PLUS Engineering Applications 3A (ENGI3022), OR M.Eng. Overseas Year 3.

Corequisites

• M Eng. Industrial Projects (ENG4111 and M Eng Technical Project (ENGI4112).

Excluded Combination of Modules

• Eng. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4E, 4F, 4G (ENGI4013, ENGI4023, ENGI4033, ENGI4053, ENGI4063, ENGI4073).

Aims

• This module is for students intending to fulfil the requirements for the final year MEng stream in Design, Manufacturing and Management.
• The module will provide graduates with advanced knowledge and understanding in finance, business and management topics that are of direct relevance for a career in industrial management.
• This module is complemented by the 40 credit MEng Technical Project module (where the final year MEng student has the opportunity to apply the material taught in this module in a large scale project) and the 20 credit MEng Industrial projects which provide experience within an industrial environment.

Content

• CORE (5 units): Advanced Engineering Design, Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Modern Manufacturing Systems, Management of Production Networks and Logistics, Strategic and Change Management.
• OPTIONS Biomechanics and Bioengineering, Control II, Quality Improvement Methods, Stress Analysis (Stress analysis is available only to students who completed Engineering 3D or 3E).
• This stream satisfies the academic requirements of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers provided that Thermo/Fluids was taken in year 3, and an honours degree is achieved.
• This stream satisfies the academic requirements of the Institution of Electrical Engineers provided that a suitable technical project is selected, and a second class honours degree or better is achieved.

Learning Outcomes

• At the end of the year students should have gained an awareness of current technology, analysis methods and industrial practises in the complex and specialised areas studied along with the ability to apply these methods in novel situations.
• An awareness and understanding of finance, business and management techniques relevant to engineering
• An in-depth knowledge and understanding of a students chosen area of specialisation and an ability to perform critical assessment and review.

• To use advanced computational tools and packages

• Capacity for independent self-learning within the bounds of professional practice.
• Highly specialised numerical skills appropriate to an engineer
• Highly specialised use of information technology (IT) relevant to the engineering profession;

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

• Teaching by lectures, seminars, tutorials and away-days. The precise balance between these modes will vary to be appropriate to the optional courses that are selected by the student.
• Written timed examinations are appropriate because of the wide range of analytical, in-depth material covered in this module and to demonstrate the ability to work independently.
• Written assignments allow a student's ability to perform independent investigation to be assessed.
• This module is complemented by equally weighted project work comprising a Technical Project (40 credits) and Industrial Projects (20 credits) which are examined by continuous assessment, final report and oral examination.
• The 6 examinations are appropriate for this module as it involves 6 lecture courses at level 4. Three of those examinations are supplemented by written assignments.
