Practical activities are usually assessed on the work completed, or on reports which are submitted. In addition, at the end of each year there are written examinations. In the Third Year students formally transfer from the School of Engineering to the Warwick Business School to complete their studies. There are many career openings for competent graduates who combine business skills with an understanding of technology. Since students come from a wide range of backgrounds there is no contribution to the final degree classification from the First Year marks.
Assessment is on a combination of examination and coursework marks.
Design is treated explicitly from the beginning of the course, concentrating initially on generic issues such as problem identification and methodology, and often drawing on multi-disciplinary case studies. YEAR TWO Students may transfer from the BSc to a specialist BEng or MEng programme, subject to performance in the First Year. Students choose between those courses offered to Second Year students reading Civil, Electrical, Manufacturing and Management, Mechanical, or Design and Appropriate Technology. Please refer to the Second Year entries for these programmes for details of the courses offered. All students must take the core course Business Studies for Engineers.
