This unit gives a year (minimum of 9 months) of industrial experience which is usually in one of the Engineering Design Degree Programme's Industrial Partner Companies. During their industrial experience students are expected to gain an understanding of the methods of design, and of analysis used in their assignments. This is to be complemented by cultivation of a good working knowledge of the technical specialisations associated with their industrial placement. Where relevant, the methods of manufacture used in their chosen industry will also be studied. The students will improve their competence at making both oral and written reports and in planning and managing their workload.
Students will be placed in different industries and Partner Companies and so their learning will be specific to that particular situation. However, they will have a good understanding of:
The students will be employed in companies and will have a supervisor in the company as well as a visiting industrial liaison officer from the university, who will make sure that the projects on which the company employs the students are capable of providing good learning opportunities.
