PETR1092
Analytical Methods
This module focuses upon the mathematical strategies and processes involved in solving a wide range of engineering problems. Develops analytical and algebraic skills transferable to engineering subjects. Gives students the analytical tools to solve problems in their own field and also exposes them to the application of complex number, matrix methods, calculus and statistics across engineering.
PETR1093
Engineering Science
This module provides an introduction to solid mechanics and energy systems so that students will have a firm base from which to work when they under take further studies.
PETR1094
Engineering Materials
This module provides an introduction to material characteristic and classification. Develop knowledge and understanding of the relationship between observation and materials testing technique. To take account of the requirements of destructive and non-destructive testing. Students will have a firm base from which to work when they under take further studies.
PETR1095
Introduction to Engineering Software
This module explores the application of engineering software to support solutions to engineering problems. These can range from mathematical solutions such as the use of Matlab, to electronic simulation, programmable logic controllers, CNC programming. A range of engineering software will allow students to select and explore engineering solutions
PETR1097
Level 4 Project
This module is an individual investigation of an engineering problems through the application of agile scrum management philosophy. Student need to be proactive in managing their own learning, needing to find a solution to the task which will relate to a manufacturing situation.
PETR1143
Advanced CAD Techniques
This module develops both 2D and 3D modelling skills and the use of computer simulation in support of engineering tasks. The principal activity will be developing a portfolio of engineering drawings and designs by working through graded tasks. Students’ produce working drawings and designs, where some are used produce animations and analysis.
* UK Government announcement on tuition fees
On Monday 4 November 2024, the UK Government announced a proposal to increase tuition fees for home undergraduate students from £9,250 to £9,535 per annum from September 2025 onwards. The University of Plymouth intends to apply this new fee from September 2025. However, implementation of this increase will be subject to parliamentary procedure. This change applies to new students starting their studies in September 2025. For current and returning students, the University is reviewing fees and will update you as soon as possible.
Completing this course enables you to progress onto these related courses and programmes with the University of Plymouth at level 5 or level 6, as specifically defined by this programme’s progression agreement.
