Welcome to the School of Business and Technology We are delighted to showcase our range of engineering programmes at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Professor Kamal Bechkoum Head of School of Business and Technology “We have developed our engineering programmes with the aim of establishing a leading engineering technology community. Through these innovative new degrees, our aim is to foster new talent and innovation, and support our students in becoming engineers for the future. “We’re here to help our students achieve their career goals – locally, nationally and internationally. As such, all our programmes incorporate a strong industrial pathway, reflecting the evolving needs of the engineering industry. Some of the firms involved in supporting this include BAE systems, Airbus, BT, GE Aviation and Raytheon, among others.

the opportunity to specialise, as well as take their first steps in engineering research. “All our programmes recognise the importance of collaboration as a foundation for promoting innovation and competitiveness in manufacturing and services, especially in transitioning industries. As such, interdisciplinary group work and shared learning is a key feature of all our degree courses, at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level.” Kamal has over 20 years’ experience of working in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications to business and industry. He is interested in research projects related to the application of AI and machine learning to engineering design, cyber security and big data analytics.

“As a university we also recognise our role in driving ideas, so establishing a solid engineering research capability is at the heart of our developments in the engineering technologies field. We offer a range of postgraduate taught degrees giving our students

Dr. Salah Al-Majeed Academic Subject Leader (Head) of Engineering Technologies “I have many years’ experience of academic teaching, research and management – this includes leading research groups and managing people nationally and internationally. “We use a variety of different teaching styles and learning activities, depending on the type of module and the learner group. Our main goals are always to help students achieve their intellectual, practical and creative potential, and to encourage their personal development. “Our teaching puts the learner at the centre. We aim to provide a safe and interactive learning space, design work programmes with clear progression routes, and create study materials and tasks which take into account different learner types and mixed-level learner groups. 4

“My own research has been moving towards an inter-disciplinary approach combining various areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), including Smart Cities, Cyber Security, Health Informatics and Biomedical Engineering. My work has been presented and published nationally and internationally. “This strong applied research achievement underpins my approach to teaching and curriculum development, leading to excellent learning outcomes for students.”

Our commitment Industry links to STEM The UK needs more graduates that are highly skilled across the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) to help drive economic growth. Here at the University of Gloucestershire we are committed to providing a range of unique opportunities for students to study STEM subjects at undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels.

All our engineering technologies courses have been designed with a strong industry-focus and developed with the involvement of employers. As such, our students have opportunities to practice their skills and expand their knowledge (for example, through placements) with local companies such as ABB, MOOG, SC Group, Spirax Sarco, Dowty Propellers and Kohler Mira.

Professional accreditation

Research

All our programmes have been designed to be accredited by the Engineering Council, through the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and / or the Energy Institute. Our close links with the Engineering Council are helping us to ensure that learners completing level 7 study are able to achieve chartered status.

High-quality and groundbreaking research is at the heart of what we do. Current PhD students are undertaking research in a diverse range of areas, including projects related to the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and electrical vehicles. We recently received Ministry of Defence funding to undertake a research project of global importance.

Park campus, Cheltenham All our engineering programmes are delivered at our Park campus in Cheltenham. Surrounded by picturesque parkland, Park is a technological hub where media, design and technology students create and collaborate in cutting-edge facilities. 6

Investment in our engineering facilities at Park is creating brand new labs, complete with the very latest industrystandard equipment. This will give you the opportunity to carry out hands-on experiments in both electrical / electronic and mechanical engineering. Meanwhile, our Computing and Technology Suite includes cyber security labs which have a virtualised infrastructure designed specifically to launch different cyber attacks in a safe environment. We also have a dedicated Cisco Network Lab for real-world network security testing using Cisco equipment.

Choosing the right qualification pathway Our programmes give students two different academic routes to achieve chartered status. Our BEng programmes are 3 year courses (4 years with a placement), which see students awarded a Bachelor’s degree upon successful completion. If you want to achieve chartered status you’re able to undertake further work-based studying, or return to university to undertake an MSc programme. These qualifications are a great route for those looking to work out which area they want to specialise in. Our MSc programmes are 1 year courses (or two years part-time), which provide a higher level option for students who already have degrees in related fields. They’re ideal if you’re looking to specialise in a particular area. Upon successful completion, you’ll gain a Master’s degree and can achieve chartered status.

Our MEng programmes are 4 year courses (5 years with a placement) that begin at level 4 (first year undergraduate level) and continue all the way to level 7 (Master’s level). These programmes provide a complete learning pathway where, upon completion, you can achieve chartered status.

BEng: 3 year* programme (4 years with placement) covering levels 4 to 6

Subject to validation: some courses will say ‘subject to validation’ – this is where it’s a new course that we intend to run but that still needs final approval at the time of going to print (November 2019).
