MEng (Hons) Engineering Integrated Master's degree at Lancaster University

In this module you will strengthen your mathematical skills and apply them to important engineering problems. Theory is presented in the context of real engineering scenarios so that both the mathematical technique itself and the engineering concept are both better understood. This includes extending integration into higher dimensions, and introducing linear algebra, including vectors and matrices, which are applied to solving problems on structural mechanics and electronic networks, for example. Methods of approximating and solving non-linear functions are discussed in order to show how hard problems can be simplified. Laplace transforms are introduced which reduce the complexity of differe

This module explores the core principles of engineering science, connecting key concepts to chemical, mechanical, nuclear, and electrical/electronic systems. You will discover how physical principles associated with energy transfer, forces, kinetics, and atomic behaviour shape the function of structures, processes, and components laying the foundation for all engineering disciplines. Topics include atomic and molecular behaviour in materials, charge movement, compound formation, and reaction kinetics. You will also examine forces from electrostatic, electromagnetic, and mechanical interactions, along with their effects on displacement, stress, current flow, and the behaviour of solids and fl

This module will provide you with key practical skills that will allow you to design physical components, structures and systems and create functionality across all engineering disciplines. Whether you are a chemical engineer designing a heat exchanger, or a nuclear engineer designing a reactor, all engineers need to be able to generate and understand engineering drawings. Here you will use industry standard Computer Aided Design software to realise your designs. You will also learn the formal design process so that you can create innovative and robust designs. Using a ‘Design for Manufacture’ focus, you will learn how your designs can be manufactured from a range of subtractive, additive an

This module bridges engineering science with real-world applications, enabling you to design and implement industrially relevant systems. One stream focuses on sensor technology, amplifier design, and "front-end" circuits. You’ll apply electronics theory to build practical circuits and networks, exploring operational amplifiers, key components of analogue systems. You'll also develop an understanding of signals in both the time and frequency domains. Systems within the field of chemical engineering will be explored where essential concepts including batch, semi-batch, and continuous processes, as well as purge and recycle streams are fundamental. You’ll perform material balance and phase equ

This module introduces thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, core principles that drive engineering solutions across all disciplines. Understanding how heat and fluid behave is crucial for engineers tackling real-world challenges, from designing efficient thermal management systems and heat exchangers to optimizing industrial processes. You will explore the fundamental laws governing energy transfer and fluid flow, learning how these principles apply to practical engineering scenarios. In this module theoretical concepts are reinforced through experiments and observations. By directly engaging with real-world examples, you will develop a deep understanding of the mechanisms at p

This module covers key analytical techniques providing a foundation for all engineering programmes. Whether you are already familiar with these concepts or not, this module will bring everyone to the same level and make sure you have the mathematical tools to succeed. Techniques of primary importance to engineering such as complex numbers, differentiation and integration are covered to ensure you can understand and apply all the different methods available and solve real engineering problems during the supported sessions and beyond. This analysis is supported by practical lessons in the use of numerical techniques using tools such as MATLAB. These tools are used not only to show how techniqu
