The aim of the course is to give individuals an all-round understanding of how modern engineering systems work and, in doing so, considers the various sub-elements, such as the mechanical, electrical, electronic and control parts of the system, which, when working together, provides the performance we now expect from everything from a mobile phone to a car to a factory production line.
In this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of how today’s engineering systems work and how they shape modern life, with a strong focus on practical applications. Engineers are often expected to have knowledge of all aspects of an engineering system, from mechanical to electrical, and this course provides a well-rounded mix of skills that are highly sought after by employers and companies in the field.
