Transcription

1 UWE BRISTOL BEng (Hons) Building Services Engineering Registration Number (Non-Local Higher and Professional Education (Regulation) Ordinance): UWE BRISTOL UWE Bristol is one of the UK's most popular universities. 27,000 students study either in Bristol or at one of its overseas partner universities. Everything at UWE Bristol is focused on making sure students are best positioned for the future they want - academically, practically, professionally and socially. The University collaborates with the private and public sectors and government to identify skills shortages, develop courses, and provide internships and work placements for its students. The University's focus on real-world learning experiences means graduates are adaptable, enterprising and ready for work. And the results speak for themselves. 94% of international first-degree graduates are in employment six months after graduation (Destination of Leavers from Higher Education, 2016). PROGRAMME OVERVIEW BEng (Hons) Building Services Engineering top-up degree is a comprehensive programme offered by SHAPE and the Department of Architecture and the Built Environment at UWE Bristol. Graduates will be well prepared to pursue careers such as mechanical building services engineer, electrical building services engineer, public health engineer, sustainability engineer, building energy modeler, construction MEP engineer and energy/facility maintenance engineer. The degree aims to build on the specialist skills students acquired in the Higher Diploma/Associate Degree and provide high level analytical thinking skills and techniques for undertaking complex engineering problems associated with Building Services Engineering. The programme also aims to give students the requisite knowledge, skills, creativity and enthusiasm to make a meaningful contribution to their profession. This programme includes elements such as evaluations of alternative low carbon services, the latest in computer based energy modelling of building fabric, complex lab-based analysis of mechanical services, real-world case studies of building performance and the latest interactive intelligent building systems. The educational aims of the programme are as follows: 1. develop the requisite science based knowledge and analytical skills for the formulation of appropriate, effective and sustainable solutions to engineering problems; 2. equip students with the management skills and personal attributes needed to provide leadership in the work environment, to meet the challenges, and recognise opportunities presented in a Building Information Modelling context; 3. give students the self-confidence and judgment to take leading roles in decision making; 4. provide opportunities to enable engineering students to advance their creative instinct, and apply multi-dimensional thinking in design and problem solving; 5. engender in students a sense of enquiry in all aspects of the subject, and provide tools to enable personal research to be undertaken in pursuit of answers to questions, and as a foundation to life-long learning; 6. develop such practical competences as are necessary to participate in activity undertaken in the laboratory, the engineering workshop, and the workplace generally; 7. enable students to demonstrate competent application of computer based skills, such as engineering simulations and encourage multi-perspective exploration and experimentation with related new technologies; and 8. provide an understanding of the role played by the building services engineering professions within the context of economic, social and environmental concerns. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE Students will take five modules, 120 credits in total, in the study. The programme structure is as follows: MODULE CREDITS Low Carbon Building Services 30 Mechanical Services 30 Design Project 30 Interactive Systems and Comfort Control 15 Energy Management and 15 Performance Evaluation 28
