Why Integrated Engineering?
Integrated Engineering is the title used for engineering degree programmes
that are inter-disciplinary, ie, that include the study of mechanical and
electrical and materials engineering. There are a number of reasons for
choosing this type of degree:
you may feel that you do not know enough about engineering to choose a
single-discipline programme;
you have found out about the main engineering disciplines but would
prefer to study across a broad range;
you have spoken to employers who have stressed the value of a
broad-based engineering degree which will enable you to tackle the wide
variety of design and manufacturing challenges that industry faces.
Why Integrated Engineering at Liverpool?
All of our programmes are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers and the Institution of Electrical Engineers and can lead to
Chartered Engineer status. The programmes are inter-disciplinary in all
years but you can, if you wish, bias towards one of the disciplines in
your final year by your selection from the wide range of optional modules
taught by specialists in their particular area.
The programmes are also very flexible, providing opportunities for
technical specialisation, business studies, language development (from
scratch or from GCSE or A level), work in industry, etc.
You will be taught by staff in the single-discipline departments where
the subject expertise resides.
Integrated Engineering is a medium-sized school, large enough
for its students to be recognised and listened to as a body but small
enough for each student to be known individually.
Our programmes are well-recognised by major employers and we have a
good record of career successes.
Careers in Integrated Engineering
Graduates of our inter-disciplinary programmes are very well qualified to
embark on challenging careers with engineering companies; possible
positions include technical marketing, research and development, design,
manufacturing engineering, manufacturing management, commissioning and
technical service. A proportion also go into non-engineering sectors where
their numeracy, computing and problem-solving skills are greatly sought.
