• This course will prepare students for a career as a modern engineer. Students will explore the latest advances in digital technology, including the additional opportunities and risks they present. Students will learn how these advances can be combined with traditional engineering to achieve new levels of automation, communication, monitoring, and self-diagnosis. Known as Industry 4.0, this next phase of industrial development is leading to smart factories, advanced manufacturing, and revolutionary changes to connected devices.
  • To build students’ skills and knowledge they’ll study automation technology, operations, and engineering design and management. Students will explore innovative approaches to industrial control engineering – and understand how to apply them to solve the real-world problems that arise as Industry 4.0 continues to develop. The course has been designed to be accredited by Engineering Council through the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE), and/or Energy Institute.
