Introduction

Engineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of the UK. It is the profession responsible for the creation of all material objects and systems necessary for modern life from concept to customer to decommissioning. Engineering is fundamental to the creation and sustainability of the environment itself. Your studies at Bradford will be a foundation for life aimed at developing an understanding of technical principles and competence in their application and a wide range of personal and professional skills. An excellent way to develop these skills is to undertake an industrial placement as an integral part of your degree studies. Upon graduation you will have the capacity for professional growth, which may include seeking Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. To achieve CEng status you will also need to complete a period of postgraduate professional development in industry. In addition, the ability of an engineer to think clearly and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in financial services, teaching, law, etc – a real foundation for life.

The School places emphasis on both teaching and research. We have particular research strengths in automotive engineering (especially component design and manufacturing quality); materials engineering (including the creation of complex components from powders, composites, and polymers); computer modelling and design (creation, virtual testing, and prototyping). We conduct this research jointly with many companies including Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and this work shapes and informs our undergraduate programmes.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The teaching and assessment strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme. The approaches adopted are outlined below:

Teaching and learning methods implemented to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the programme include formal lectures (including those from Visiting Lecturers), case studies, tutorial exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual and team-based project work. The method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

The methods implemented in developing your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration and supervised research or project work. The methods of assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework and more particularly in your Stage 3 Project work.

Page 7: and teaching institution: University of Bradford. Final and interim awards: BEng (Honours) [Framework for Higher Education Qualifications level 6] Diploma of ... · Web view · 2017-6-9

The methods implemented in developing your practical skills include demonstrations and practical sessions linked with the taught modules. You will also design and operate equipment and/or procedures and use control and measuring instruments under supervision during your Project work. The methods of assessment of practical skills include feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules.

The methods implemented in developing your transferable skills are implicit in the programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for students to develop and manage their learning. The University of Bradford modus operandi, Making Knowledge Work, is imbedded in the philosophy of this programme, the School of Engineering and Informatics is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or Project work.

Assessment Regulations

Whilst this Programme conforms to the general principles set out in the standard University Assessment Regulations, which are available at the link below, http://www.bradford.ac.uk/aqpo/ordinances-and-regulations/ the following exception(s) apply to these regulations:

1. Students must pass the final year project at 1st attempt.

2. Where an element of assessment for a module has a weighting of 30% or more, a minimum mark of 30% must be obtained in that element, as well as an overall pass mark being obtained for a module to be deemed a pass.

For your award to be accredited by the professional body, the final award classification must be 2:2 level or above.

If the above requirements are not met, but the University’s undergraduate regulations are complied with, then a non-accredited BEng will be awarded.

Students on a BEng programme obtaining a 2:1, will be offered an opportunity to transfer to MEng and enter stage 4.

Admission Requirements

The University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate’s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience.

If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications.

A typical offer to someone seeking entry through the UCAS scheme would be 260 UCAS points total with 160 points from 2 A levels to inc. Maths minimum grade C (or possibly AS Maths + a science A level minimum grade C), GCSE English and Maths minimum grade C. However, applications are welcome from mature students and candidates with non-standard qualifications or who, lacking academic qualifications, have significant relevant experience. On completion of a UCAS form you will be invited to the School for an Open Day when you will have the opportunity to meet staff, view the facilities and discuss “the Bradford experience” with current students.

All students must satisfy the English language requirements for admission as described in http://www.bradford.ac.uk/international/before-you-apply/english-language-requirements/

If your native language is not English, you will have to pass a test in English approved by the University before you can be admitted. The following qualifications are acceptable as satisfying this requirement. Both are available internationally:

The International English Language Testing Service Test (IELTS) administered by the British Council is the test which is preferred by the University. You will need to achieve an Overall Band of at least 6.0, with at least 5.5 in each of the four sub-tests. Testing facilities are available at most British Council overseas offices. When you take your test, you should ask for a copy of your Test Report Form to be sent to the University.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, USA. You will need to achieve an overall score of at least 80*, and sub-tests not less than 18 in Reading, 17 in Writing, 17 in Listening and 20 in Speaking.. If you take this test, you should enter the University’s code 0828, on your answer sheet.

Should you not be able to offer these grades then you should contact the Admissions Tutor for further advice as the University provides a number of pre-sessional English courses for international students.
