Welcome to Explore Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech)

•This Explore session will give you information about the BEng degree and its high demand in industry.

•We aim to give you an insight into the purpose, structure, and specialist areas that can be achieved during your studies, and the diverse career opportunities that await you.

•BEngTech stands for Bachelor of Engineering Technology.

•Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.

4

• The BEngTech Programme is under the Faculty of EDICT(Engineering , Design and ICT).

• The aim of the programme is to provide students with acomprehensive set of skills for employment as EngineeringTechnologists.

• The priority is to produce graduates who are competent,work-ready, adaptable and committed to team work and life-long learning.

• Tutors come from many countries including Bahrain, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, India, Greece, Cyprus.

5

•Applicants MUST achieve the minimum requirements in English, Mathematics and IT (if applicable) to join the programme.

• Applicants must also show competence in mathematics used in technology by successfully completing AP4102 Mathematics (Technical) taught in the Certificate in Academic Preparation (CAP).

6

The BEngTech Programme is a four year, eight semester(Full-Time) programme.

Students must complete 480 credits to graduate.

All students study the principles of Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering as well as Technical Mathematics and English.

At the start of the second year, students select their major and any elective courses required. Engineering English courses continue to the end of the second year.

During the third and fourth years students can apply their fundamental knowledge of Engineering to advanced courses related to their major.

There are two majors in the BEngTech Programme: Electronics and Mechanical

8

• BEngTech students concentrate on applying their technical skills and knowledge to solve real world problems in an increasingly hands-on manner.

•Final Year Project - students independently develop an engineering product suggested by the tutors or an engineering company.

•Work Placement - students are required to complete 80 days of approved work placement while working for an organization in Bahrain.

Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies.

10

• The behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes amplification of weak signals possible and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunications, and signal processing.

• The ability of electronic devices to act as switches makes digital information processing possible.

•Typical positions for an Electronics Major graduate include:

• instrumentation and control for the petrochemical industry;

• robotics and industrial automation;• industrial electronics;• telecommunications;• design of hardware and software

systems;• electronics product design.

•Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.

•It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.

15

• The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and materials science.

• Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product life-cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, and others.
