This is a multidisciplinary year, giving you experience of teamwork, building your confidence in technology and numeracy, and developing computer literacy and presentation skills. You study a mix of modules that could include: Mathematics, Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Properties of Matter, Waves, Chemistry – physical, inorganic and organic, Laboratory work and Data Handling Skills. There is small group student academic support built into the programme. You learn about the different engineering disciplines you may wish to follow. If you have ambitions to pursue a particular branch of engineering (chemical; civil; electronic, electrical and computer; metallurgy and materials; or mechanical), you should select the appropriate programme title. This determines which modules are required. It is often possible to change branch at the end of the year.
