Throughout the 4 years, students will go through a large number of modules, focusing on different areas and sub-fields of engineering. Some of these modules are:
- Foundation Principles
- Engineering Study Skills
- Engineering Technology
- Engineering Environement
- Engineering Principles
- Projects & Systems
- Graphical Communication and Computer Modelling
- Engineering Applications
- Mechanics of Materials and Machines
- Thermofluids and Control Systems
