Optional modules
At the end of year 1, you are asked to choose an Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) Minor stream that allows you to gain a grounding in another engineering/relevant discipline, a complementary skill or an interdisciplinary industry-based topic. This is achieved by offering a coherent set of three 15 credit modules, introducing all enrolled students to new fields as well as offering the opportunity for interdisciplinary topics to be covered in reasonable detail. The IEP Minors currently offered enable students to study in-depth from a broad choice of subjects.
Module 1: Takes place in Year 2, Term 2
