The Engineering Application module provides students with the opportunity try a short taster project based on some of the modules that would be studied on a full undergraduate degree. It enables them to use and develop their specific technology skills, knowledge and experiences with project based on real word engineering problems.
Students will get the opportunity to choose 4 from 6 projects to enable them to focus on a future engineering path. (Electrical/Mechanical/Aeronautical/Automotive)

- Students will be expected to evaluate, analyse and reflect on their self development and the decisions made during the course of the module.
- Each of the projects will be at an intellectual depth appropriate to a Foundation Year, where the literature survey shows breadth as well as variety of sources to include internet, journals and books on a chosen subject.
- Students will be expected to reflect on their own experiences during each of the mini projects.

This module will enable students to gain understanding, apply knowledge, analyse and evaluate problems and create solutions through a variety of activities, including lectures, blended learning, practical sessions, student centred learning activities, directed but independent student learning and small group tutorials.
