B.Eng (Hons) in

ENGINEERING

(by Distance Learning)

This innovative distance learning programme offers a unique opportunity to students unable to attend University; a route to an engineering qualification that could ultimately lead to chartered status. The programme covers the fields of electrical and mechanical engineering and includes elements of materials selection, manufacturing and control, and so produces the multi-disciplinary graduates that are being sought by employers.

You can start at any time and study at your own pace at a location that is convenient, using specially prepared learning materials that include user-friendly explanations and self-assessment questions. The programme includes some practical work which may be done at the University, or, if facilities exist, at your work place.

Experience has shown that engineering graduates with a broad knowledge base are sought after in the job market. Students from this engineering programme have found employment in a variety of areas including senior positions in design, manufacture, research and management.

It is anticipated that virtually all students will be working within the engineering industry and that final year projects will be taken from that area.

RECOGNITION BY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING BODIES

This programme has been approved as satisfying the academic requirements of the Institute of Incorporated Engineers (IIE).

SUBJECTS STUDIED

BEng (Hons) in Engineering students study all of the modules described below. As can be seen from the level 1 modules; students having completed their HNC in Engineering are accredited for the first five modules (*) of level 1.

Furthermore, by completing these modules via A-1 Technical Training, Logis-Tech Associates, they are 100% continuous assessment. They are solely based on TMAs (Tutor Marked Assignments), whereas directly with the University examinations are involved. This thus leaves only 2 subjects (MAX129 and MEX108) with examinations for the first year of the B.Eng(Hons) in Multidiscipline Engineering.

For further details of the module content for all subjects in the first year, link on the module code number. Students already possessing a HNC in a engineering discipline may wish to take the A-1 Technical Fd-Eng, route of study.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT:

You are supplied with text based self learning materials that include both short in text questions and longer self assessment questions. Full answers are provided. Contact with tutors can be made via phone, fax, email, post or personal visits.

The programme is assessed by a variety of means. Most modules include a series of Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs) which provide useful feedback on progress. Other forms of assessment include laboratory work, examinations and projects. Exams may be taken at the University, or with prior agreement, at the student’s workplace.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:

There are no formal entry requirements for the course, but students must prove their ability to be able to proceed by taking and passing two specified level one modules. They are Maths for Engineering and either Engineering Principles (Electrical) or Engineering Principles (Mechanical). All applicants will be counselled on the most appropriate route into the programme for them, which may involve undertaking some bridging studies.

Applicants with certain qualifications, e.g. an HNC in a suitable subject area, may be exempt from a substantial section of level one.

DURATION OF PROGRAMME:

This is flexible to suit the needs of the student and depends upon entrance qualifications and the amount of time students are prepared to spend on study. It is anticipated to take approximately a few years.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMES:

The facility also exists that if a student does not feel that the B.Eng in Engineering is not a suitable progression/route, the following B.Eng programmes can also be taken by distance learning:

• B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering
• B.Eng. Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• B.Eng Automotive Engineering

Level 1 of these programmes are very similar to the B.Eng (Hons) in Engineering. For more details please email hugo@logis-tech.co.uk

CONTACT TIME AT UNIVERSITY:

Students whose companies can provide appropriate laboratory experience and living near to an examination centre will be able to complete the programme without attendance at the University. For others the estimated attendance will be 10 days over 3/5 years.
