Civil engineering is a design discipline that is broad and holistic, while also focused and extremely precise. It utilises experimentation, creativity, numerical analysis and calculation and the application of scientific principles to deliver sustainable solutions for people, our societies, cultures and environments. It requires engineers who have refined their skills through experience and demonstrate they can apply learning within a highly communicative, process-driven, teamworking environment.

This module introduces the theories and practical skills required for you to become a successful civil engineer. It includes a series of design projects, ranging in focus and scope, supported by lectures, practical workshops, design tutorials and presentations. You are encouraged to identify your existing skills, competencies and interests, and shape and enhance your own learning – helping you to start to define your own career within the exciting world of civil engineering.

Successful engineers combine creativity with research, technical analysis and teamwork to create innovative solutions that improve the world around us, ethically and sustainably. Learn the principles, processes and skills that underpin engineering design.

Through a series of hands-on design projects, supported by lectures, practical workshops and tutorials, you will experience the complete engineering design process—from researching a problem and generating ideas to developing, testing and evaluating engineering solutions. Along the way, you will strengthen your creativity, analytical thinking, technical communication and collaborative working skills while learning how engineers balance innovation, functionality and sustainability.

By the end of the module, you will have developed the confidence to tackle open-ended engineering problems, communicate your ideas effectively and work successfully as part of a design team, providing a strong foundation for the rest of your engineering degree and your future career.

At the heart of this interprofessional module is the belief that all health care students should not only share the same core values and skills that underpin their professional practice, but they should also have learning opportunities that enable them to learn with, and about, each other. This module is intended to provide a foundation on which the different programmes leading to professional registration can be built. The module seeks to contextualise health and social care by exploring its' origins, philosophy and priorities - including the promotion of good health as well as the management of ill-health. Health and social care has had a continued focus on client-centred practice for some years but, nonetheless, has experienced concerns about the extent to which service users may not always have been treated with dignity and respect. Therefore the module also seeks to explore ethical dimensions of care-giving to reinforce and instil respectful, reflective, professional practice - including the importance of safeguarding vulnerable people. Finally, the module will provide a set of skills to prepare students for their first exposure to practice placement.

The key aim of this module is to provide the background and the methods for the understanding of the operation of basic analogue CMOS cells, and how to design common functions. The emphasis is placed on design of analogue functions specifically as part of mixed signal systems.

Only a few “Digital” CMOS ICs are actually completely digital; most have some analogue functions, often signal conditioning and data conversion interfaces, but maybe only a clock oscillator. The approach adopted is based on “bottom-up” approach, by encouraging a sound understanding of the analogue behaviour of devices and a range of fundamental circuit principles, with the emphasis on gaining skills at first order design by hand as a starting point for simulation and as guidance for optimisation.

Device models suitable for hand calculation are considered as well as their limits of applicability. The methods for manufacturability and robustness in design are given high priority.

Functions addressed include primitive cells, biasing and references, op-amp designs, sampled and continuous time filters, A/D and D/A converters.

Pre-Requisite Knowledge:
- Basic MOS transistor construction and physics
- Basic MOS transistor large and small signal models
- DC and AC network analysis skills
- Behavioural level understanding of Op-Amp circuits
- Elementary appreciation of sampled data systems
- Basic circuit simulation CAD skills (SPICE)
