(Hons) Integrated Engineering University of Plymouth

Overview

The (Hons) Integrated Engineering course from the University of Plymouth will provide you with the skills and competences needed to operate effectively as a modern professional engineer across traditional boundaries. 

The course draws on expertise from across the school, with a range of modules including civil and mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, robotics engineering, and computing and mathematics.

Careers 

The future needs of industry worldwide requires engineers with a new perspective and with a different range of enhanced engineering skills, understanding and competencies (Industry 4.0). Current, and future, engineering production, and other systems, rely on a decentralised intelligence. To function effectively this requires programming to control their operation as autonomous mechanical and mechatronic systems. Full automation of processes will be necessary in a modern engineering context and will only be achieved through further digitisation, networking and applying an interdisciplinary or systems approach to the engineering activity. In short, we now need engineers who have the key transferrable skills, ability and knowledge to be able to “think outside the box”. Studying for a BEng (Hons) degree in Integrated Engineering at the University of Plymouth will help you gain and develop these necessary professional attributes.
