Hide-What is this course about?
This Level 8 one year add-on honours degree course has been designed to provide students with an Engineering or Science based Level 7 degree, with a set of both technical and transferrable skills that are widely applicable to industry.
The development of this course is a direct response to feedback and requirements from industry. The companies surveyed stated that Engineering graduates were lacking the necessary skill set and process knowledge to work effectively in an industrial environment. The course utilises industrial case studies, requires significant independent learning and engagement with local industry. Students actively work with various companies to carry out research for their dissertation, apply applied process improvement techniques and create project plans that are beneficial to the companies.
To allow for this, the course is structured as follows:
• Two major modules in the form of Applied Process Improvement and Project Management.
• Two minor modules in the form of Engineering Operations Management and Statistical Process Control.
• A dissertation module.
On completion of the Applied Process Improvement module, students can also complete the America green belt six sigma exam resulting in green belt certification.
An overview of feedback from industry shows that there are not enough third level combination engineering and management courses; this course meets this gap. Industry also requires a more rounded individual for the manufacturing and service provision. A graduate with an insight into project and people management is seen as an asset in modern industry.
Why take this course?
This Level 8 Honours Degree in Process and Engineering Management is a follow-on course for any graduate who has successfully completed an Engineering or Science Level 7 degree.
For example, graduates from the following TUS Level 7 Degree courses can apply to progress onto this honours degree course:
• US771 Mechanical Engineering
• US775 Road Transport Technology & Management
• US751 Electronic Engineering with Computer Systems
• US752 Renewable & Electrical Energy Engineering
• US760 Civil Engineering
• US753 Industrial Automation & Robotic Systems
