BEng (Hons) Sport Engineering
With the facilities, opportunities and industry connections we have here, it’s a completely different way of learning.
Get involved in research from day one and learn about sport engineering by studying real-life scenarios, taking part in live industry projects and the annual Grand Challenge. This hands-on approach will develop your problem-solving and engineering skills – giving you experience of what it is like to work as a professional engineer.
The sport engineering industry looks to help solve problems associated with sport, health and exercise. It is a relatively new but rapidly expanding area which is attracting large interest and investment from professional sports clubs, sportswear and equipment manufacturers as well as health and wellbeing app and wearable technology developers.
On this course you’ll design and develop sport technology concepts and devices. You’ll be working on real projects set by organisations that could be looking at helping athletes get the most out of their training programmes, maximising sporting performance, or developing sport equipment and technology that gains advantages over competitors.
Recently our students have worked on reverse engineering everyday objects, designing a racing motorcycle helmet and using industry standard software packages to improve the design of sports equipment.
If you want a work placement, collaboration or specialist knowledge, our connections with industry mean you have access to organisations across the sport and wellbeing sector.
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
This course is recognised by CDIO, a framework that has a project based learning approach. This framework stresses engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The framework is dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering through live projects
