Programme summary for Foundation Degree (FdEng) Modern Manufacture
About the programme
We have over 100 years of experience in teaching Engineering and we have developed programmes which are current and will give students the opportunity to develop an understanding of manufacturing engineering technology and communication skills. This programme is delivered by our partner colleges at the 'state of the art' CEME with a large proportion of modern laboratories. Students undertake practical work to reinforce the theories and practices learnt in the classroom with 'hands on' experience. This is supported by their own experience in a working environment. The programme offers the opportunity to study the fundamental principles and theories required by all Manufacturing Engineers and apply these in a practical work environment.
Programme structure
Study is based on two years full-time block release and is designed to complement full-time employment in the manufacturing industry. The programme is modular and is based on core studies supported by a number of optional modules.
Career opportunities
Opportunities are available in production engineering, project management, manufacturing, maintenance, control systems, building services engineering and industrial liaison. Many graduates will also move to careers in business, management, and finance.
Support
The University of East London , Barking College and Havering College pride themselves on their student support systems. Based on the practice of industry we operate an open door policy with students encouraged to consult with their tutors. Tutors will monitor progress and provide assistance and advice with academic and personal problems.
The CEME facilities include dedicated computer laboratories and equipment which is freely accessible to use, as long as it is not required for a teaching session. Technical support is readily available supported by academics.
Employer links are maintained through CEME and our Industrial Panel and employers are invited to attend the University to talk to students about careers in manufacturing. Professional bodies also visit regularly and provide details on the membership qualification process and the advantages available to members.
