工程学硕士学位是四年制的第一学位，可提供您在工程界所需的广度和深度。它旨在培养将继续领导工程团队的毕业生。您的头两年为您提供基础广泛的工程教育。这样，您便可以专攻第三和第四年。在达勒姆大学，您学位课程的每一年都将采用六个模块，该年份分为三个学期，并且每年年底都有考试。
Master the skills you need to plan, design and analyse engineering projects. Become a specialist in the field that fascinates you, responding to new and changing technologies.,This degree delivers the breadth and depth that you will need to succeed in the world of engineering. It is designed to produce graduates who will go on to lead engineering teams. A common first two years in General Engineering provide you with the broad knowledge required to effectively work on multi-disciplinary engineering problems. The course structure offers a huge amount of flexibility – you could join us on a civil engineering pathway but decide to pursue electronic engineering at the end of your second year. We believe in empowering our students to make informed decisions that would best serve their future careers. After your first two years, you will start to specialise in Civil, Electrical, Electronic or Mechanical Engineering, and supplement this discipline-specific knowledge with Engineering Design activities and focused practical skills. You can further specialise in your final year, with two additional choices: Aeronautical Engineering, Renewable Energies, and Bioengineering, learning advanced topics at the forefront of engineering knowledge whilst working with a world-leading academic on a research and development dissertation project, the highlight of many of our students’ degrees.You will study four modules in engineering, one in mathematics and one optional module. In your engineering modules, you will examine 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and implement engineering algorithms into computer code. You will also take part in a group design activity where you have to design, build and test a device to solve a specific engineering challenge. Recent examples include miniature hydroelectric generators and chain-climbing robots.Course structureYear 1 modulesCore modules:Solid Mechanics and Structures 1 gives you a working knowledge of solid mechanics, structures and structural analysis, in a wider engineering context.Electronic and Electrical Systems 1 provides you with knowledge of electrical and electronic circuit theory, components, electromagnetism and hardware interfacing.Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics 1 offers knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics including dimensional analysis, fluid statics and fluid dynamics.Engineering Practice 1 provides you with practical engineering skills relevant to multiple engineering disciplines. It shows how the material covered in other engineering modules fits together in the wider engineering context, and will also introduce you to engineering ethics and professional issues.Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists gives you all the maths skills and techniques needed for studying Engineering and other sciences.Optional modules:In recent years, optional modules have included: Introduction to ProgrammingComputational ThinkingYear 2 modulesCore modules:Engineering Mathematics 2 provides knowledge of probability and statistics and advanced mathematical methods for modelling engineering problems.Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics 2 gives you further knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.Solid Mechanics and Structures 2 builds your knowledge of the mechanics of dynamics and vibration, stress analysis of structures and sections, trusses and frames, and the mechanics of soils. It also provides an introduction to finite element methods.Electrical Engineering 2 provides you with knowledge of mathematical methods for modelling engineering problems and computing.Electronics 2 gives you knowledge of electronics and computing in terms of circuits, digital electronics and microprocessor design.Engineering Design 2 You will learn about various aspects of the design process including the principles of design and project management. You will undertake a major design project with guidance from an academic supervisor and an external (industrial) engineer.
