Overview
*Please note this course is currently being advertised subject to approval * Modern engineering is increasingly about innovation: turning technical possibility into products, services and solutions that create value. Organisations rely on engineers who can work across technical and commercial boundaries, and this degree is designed to help you explore how technology, innovation and organisational strategy interact in practice. This course combines a rigorous engineering foundation with a dedicated core spine in operations, innovation management, business and technology strategy, and entrepreneurship. It aims to develop both the technical depth expected of an engineer and the capability to shape and manage innovation and bring engineering ideas towards application. This integrated perspective is intended to be valuable in a landscape where technological development and innovation play a central role in strategic decision-making across many sectors. At Leicester, this course is delivered collaboratively by the School of Engineering and the School of Business. Alongside core engineering principles, you will study sustainability, design and applied project work, while building your commercial and organisational understanding year by year. In your final year, you will undertake a substantial individual project under the supervision of an academic, bringing together the knowledge and skills you have developed to address a current engineering challenge or improve an existing product. Alongside this, you will study entrepreneurship theory and practice, applying opportunity recognition, venture creation and entrepreneurial finance to real or proposed ventures. Teaching combines theory with applied case studies, design activities and real examples from industry and research. Throughout the degree you will develop skills valued across engineering and technology-driven sectors, including practical problem-solving, communicating technical and commercial information effectively,
