Course objectives

On completion of this course students should:

• have a sound knowledge and understanding of the relevant mathematics and science, scientific method and technology;
• have developed particular and specific skills related to the major areas of study in both science and engineering;
• have progressed from a broad fundamental knowledge base to advanced studies in focused discipline areas of specialist engineering;
• be skilled in research techniques and the systematic organisation of ideas and material, and creative with problem solving;
• be able to integrate knowledge from different discipline areas to synthesise a coherent and effective approach to problem solving;
• have become proficient in oral and written communication;
• be able to use existing technology effectively and contribute towards the development of new technology;
• have a recognition of the need for continuous change and development;
• be aware of ethical standards and responsibilities;
• have developed the appropriate attitudes to relationships with the community and other members of the engineering profession.

Course structure

The faculties of Science and Engineering have established a five-year course which, after three years of study, qualifies students for the BSc degree and, after a further two years, for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering.

In the first three years of study students' progress will be subject to Science faculty policies and rules, as regards examinations an so on, except that those students seeking to qualify with a BE in electrical and computer systems engineering combined with a BSc degree majoring in mathematics or physics in their second year of study, will be under the control of the Engineering faculty and subject to the policies and rules of that faculty. In their third year these students will be subject to the regulations of the Faculty of Science.

The fourth and fifth years of the course will be pursued entirely within, and under the control of, the Engineering faculty.

Students wishing to qualify with a BSc(Hons) may take the honours year before proceeding to their final two years in the Engineering faculty.

Students embarking on this course pursue combinations of subjects from both faculties. The course is structured so that progression to the BSc qualification, ie the first three years, is governed by the BSc regulations, except that restrictions in terms of subject choices have been imposed to ensure that only those studies which equip students to undertake the subsequent engineering studies can be pursued.

All students should see the double degree Engineering course adviser at the end of each year in order to finalise their engineering enrolment for the following year.

Course requirements

All students should note that if they are pursuing a computer science major they may not enrol in ECS1610.
