Graduates will be skilled in the design, development, and implementation of the advanced integrated, connected manufacturing systems of the future. It enables graduates to apply Level 8 learning outcomes in the automation and efficient design and implementation of advanced manufacturing systems. The graduate will also be enabled to apply Industry 5.0 concepts to manufacturing systems, including ethical engineering standards.

Modules

The programme is delivered across two semesters, with two modules per semester. There is also a work-based project that runs across both semesters.

Semester 1:

• Automation, Robotics & Control
• Engineering Research & Manufacturing Practise

Semester 2:

• Sustainable Manufacturing Engineering
• Operation Management Techniques

Semester 1 and 2:

• Integrated Manufacturing Project

Classes will run online for 2 evenings per week, with a 1 day on campus practical per semester. There is also a weekly check-in (less than 30 mins) with the tutor on the Project.

Why This Course?

Upon completion of the Certertificate in Integrated Manufacturing Engineering Management, the learner will be able to:

• Exhibit a profound comprehension of and dedication to professional and ethical duties in engineering practice, demonstrating the prioritization of the well-being of people and the environment, whilst actively engaging in the design, development and delivery of innovative and sustainable solutions for the manufacturing workplace.
• Display an in-depth understanding and articulate the theory, concepts and methods pertaining to the principles and skills in engineering design, development and management.
• Work effectively independently and in diverse and inclusive teams and prepare for lifelong learning.
• Communicate effectively on well-defined engineering activities.
• Identify, select, interpret, compare and critically evaluate design and implementation methodologies to solve complex manufacturing engineering
  problems.
• Appreciate the organisational structures, commercial governance & legal
  commitments in the engineering world.
• Exhibit the ability to lead industrial engineering projects through inception, planning, execution and reporting, including detailed research, data collections & analysis, and engage in critical discussion of the outcomes.

Progression Opportunitues

On completion of the course learners can undertake the Certificate in Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things to gain a BSc (Hons) in Integrated Manufacturing Engineering.
