BEng (Hons) Design Engineering Bachelor's degree at Middlesex University

This module equips you with a robust foundation in mathematical principles and tools essential for modelling and comprehending complex engineering problems. Through theoretical understanding and practical applications, you will gain the skills to analyse, interpret, and effectively communicate results, empowering you to make informed decisions and design solutions as competent engineers.

This module offers an introduction to core computing and communication skills for design practice. You will develop skills in computer-aided design (CAD) modelling, design visualisation, design communication and modelling/prototyping. It introduces strategies for engaging with distributed communities of practice and developing an online presence.

This module introduces you to fundamental computational concepts and programming constructs relevant to physical computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). Through exploration of various programming languages and environments, you will develop problem-solving skills using code to interact with hardware components. This module equips you with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop computer programs tailored to specific requirements, integrating software solutions with physical devices and

This module introduces you to core skills in prototyping, material selection and processes, and mechanical and electrical principles. The focus of the module is developing confidence, awareness and practical applications of this core skill set for different stages of design and engineering practice.

This module develops your advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) capabilities using industry-standard software. It focuses on advanced surface and feature-based modelling, and computer-based analysis tools. You will develop competence to improve designs and help solve technical problems. The module develops your understanding of reverse engineering, mass manufacture design requirements, product lifecycle analysis and provides an introduction to related design

This module will provide knowledge and understanding of the components of a typical control system involving sensors and actuators and how these can be controlled in applications such as level, position and speed control. This will involve developing knowledge of key aspects of classical control theory and their applications to engineering problems. You will use common industry standard software applications in modelling, analysing and prototyping control systems.

This module develops your understanding of the commercial, legal, financial, ethical and environmental context of design and engineering processes and their impact on society. We will cover issues such as sustainability goals, recognition of obligations to the society, the professional practice and a commitment to professional standards and code(s) of conduct relevant to your discipline (such as the Engineering Council). The module also covers other wider issues such as materials and their impac

This module equips you with prototyping methods and approaches to enable you to successfully engage in a range of prototyping activities to develop, test and optimise design and engineering proposals. The module will develop the capability to analyse design problems, develop effective prototyping strategies and explore creative approaches to prototyping. You will engage with the learning content by building functioning prototypes, at a range of fidelities, using methods appropriate to the design

This module will strengthen, extend and apply the knowledge, skills and experiences you have gained from your course in a working environment, and to complement, stimulate, reinforce and encourage the development of discipline-specific technical knowledge, and your transferable skills. You will gain knowledge of professional requirements in an industry context and record and critically reflect on your personal practice.

This module equips you with the skills to understand the process of innovation in design and engineering contexts and be able to appreciate the way it impacts sectoral professional practice. You will further develop research and written communication skills through the identification of evidence-based innovation opportunities

This module develops your skills and knowledge in design and analysis of engineering systems, their validation and optimisation within the context of design engineering. This will involve understanding of systems approach to design and using appropriate computer-aided tools and techniques to analyse, validate and optimise for a given specification. The module also covers tools for modelling and analysing associated manufacturing processes using tools such as discrete event analysis and exploring

This module gives you the opportunity to synthesise prior learning and develop your planned graduation trajectory through a self-selected, self-initiated and self-directed major project and complementary professional practice components including EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) principles. The direction of the project is a personal choice supported by appropriate staff to help you best synthesise your course experiences into a project that develops your working practice and professional
