Academic Staff List Make an EnquiryThe BEng (Hons) Integrated Engineering is usually studied as part of the Integrated Engineering Degree Apprenticeship. The degree aims to provide a broad knowledge and understanding of mechanical, electro-mechanical, and control engineering that is informed by the research activities of the academic staff, but draws deeply on the practices and experiences of a modern industrial workplace.
The programme is tailored to the needs of those aged 18 and over that are commencing an engineering career within industry or those presently working in the industry looking to advance their engineering qualifications. The programme has three streams that align with three level 6 degree apprenticeship standards, with a focus on mechanical, electrical, or control engineering. This programme may also be studied independently of the apprenticeship scheme by students wishing to undertake their degree part-time with the same blended-learning delivery.
Typical job roles are dependent upon the particular specialism and its associated apprenticeship standard. The mechanical stream follows the Manufacturing Engineer standard, the electrical stream follows the Electrical/Electronic Technical Support Engineer standard, and the control stream follows the Control/Technical Support Engineer standard.
The programme offers an industrially relevant degree programme that places students' learning experience at the centre of every activity and provides students with the partial academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
The course aims to produce graduates who can apply fundamental scientific principles and mathematical techniques in order to conceive, realise, create, and innovate solutions to real-world engineering problems. Students are also expected to develop an awareness of engineering in the wider social, ethical, sustainable, and economic context.
The first two levels of study are designed to lay the common foundations of engineering principles. The final level provides an opportunity for students to deepen their education through a broad range of specialist modules.
Delivery is through blended-learning, combining distance-learning utilising a range of delivery and assessment methods and supported by online interactive tutorials with academic tutors.
This online delivery is supported by three weeks on campus throughout the year with the aim of consolidating learning and offering collaborative and interactive aspects to reinforce the content from the online modules.
In addition to this, contact via Skype calls or equivalent, workplace visits, and progress review meetings are carried out regularly as part of the programme.
- Tutorials and Example Classes draw heavily on the students' workplace experiences. These classes provide an opportunity for students to explore and resolve problems under staff guidance and direction.
- Workshops are used to enable students to work on "open-ended" problems related to real engineering situations. They also provide opportunities for developing team-working and communication skills as well as individual skills.
- Laboratory Classes are used to introduce experimental techniques and practical methods. They provide an opportunity for students to practice team-working and communication skills.
Wherever possible, the programme will make the maximum use of industry-university links so that graduates have the chance to gain practical experience in modern commercial and managerial practices appropriate to the engineering industry.
We want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision on where and what you want to study. To help you choose the course that’s right for you, we aim to bring to your attention all the important information you may need. Our What You Need to Know page offers detailed information on key areas including contact hours, assessment, optional modules, and additional costs.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.
Students on this course as assessed through a variety of means which may include written examinations, coursework assignments, laboratory reports, technical reports, technical notes, computer-based tests and assessed simulations, demonstrations, dissertations, portfolios, and oral and poster presentations.
Successful completion of the apprenticeship route will require apprentices to pass the University degree, followed by an end point assessment to complete the apprenticeship. The University will continue to support students throughout this assessment.
New entrants require 104 UCAS points or equivalent at A Level, including a grade C in Mathematics. This equates to a BCC A Level Profile; BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering with a Distinction, Merit, Merit Profile; or an International Baccalaureate of 29 points overall with a higher level grade 5 in maths. An Advanced Apprenticeship in a related subject will be considered.
Existing professionals are required to demonstrate industrial experience and professional competence and should ideally hold vocational and professional qualifications.
Holding GCSE Maths and English at grade C or above or equivalent is a requirement for all entrants.
Going to university is a life-changing step and it's important to understand the costs involved and the funding options available before you start. A full breakdown of the fees associated with this programme can be found on our course fees pages.
For eligible undergraduate students going to university for the first time, scholarships and bursaries are available to help cover costs. The University of Lincoln offers a variety of merit-based and subject-specific bursaries and scholarships. For full details and information about eligibility, visit our scholarships and bursaries pages.
At Lincoln, we strive to make sure our student experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. That is why, in response to the issues presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been prioritising face-to-face teaching sessions for our new and returning students in areas where they are the most valuable, such as seminars, tutorials, workshops, and lab and practical sessions. Additional online opportunities have been introduced where they support learning and have been shown to be successful and popular with our current students.
Safety remains a key focus. We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance makes this necessary, and we will endeavour to keep current and prospective students informed.
