Mechanical engineering

the report is about comparing mechanical engineering in (design materials) or any other subject in mechanical engineering between Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and any other University in the UK.(it has to be about mechanical engineering).
Plan is not required so I just need an essay.(don’t need plan).
Part A (25%, approximately 350 words)

? Written in the first person
? Demonstrates knowledge of the academic discipline
? States own educational aims whilst studying
? Understands career opportunities available

Part B (25%, approximately 350 words)

? Written in impersonal style
? Provides a discussion that compares and contrasts the same (or similar) degree programme at LJMU with another UK university e.g. modules, course content, course structure
? Highlights an LJMU academic?s profile
? Reflects on a departmental visit experience

Part C (50%, approximately 700 words)

? Written in impersonal style
? Identifies a first year module on the LJMU progression degree
? Demonstrates knowledge of a topic related to the module
? Analyses contrasting views or approaches within the topic
? Provides at least 2 websites and 2 books (not e-books) as supporting sources within the discussion

also in
Part A (25%)

? Introduce your progressing degree
? Identify career options from the degree
? Explain reasons for degree choice

Part B (25%)

? Locate the same degree (or similar) at another UK institution
? Provide similarities and differences with the LJMU degree
? Identify an LJMU academic at LJMU and notes on their profile
? Provide comments on a visit to the LJMU department

Part C (50%)

? Name a first year module on your progressing degree
? Identify a topic relating to that module
? Debate/difference of opinion/ contrasting views within the topic
? 4 references to be identified and presented using the Harvard referencing system (2 websites and 2 books)

some helpful question in part B:

What are the core subjects on this course?

What teaching methods are used?

How is the course structured?

Is it possible to study overseas on this course?

Does the course have a Master?s level?

Is there any paid employment as part of the course?

How much can I expect to earn when I graduate?

What is the expertise of the staff on this course?

What are the entry requirements for international students?

A. You are required to provide some insight into why you are entering into study for the academic discipline, what you are hoping to achieve, and your career aspirations.

B. You will then need to offer a discussion that compares and contrasts the LJMU undergraduate degree you are aiming to progress to with the same (or similar) programme offered by another university within the UK. It is expected that you will use web searches to retrieve this information as well as your experiences at LJMU e.g. an LJMU?s academic?s profile, a visit to the academic department.

C. Finally, you will choose one of the modules on the first year of your progression programme (on the LJMU course web pages) and research an area related to that module to demonstrate an awareness of debate or difference of opinion within the topic.

For example:

BEng Civil Engineering – there is a module called Structures and Materials.
You may want to discuss how different concretes are used for different purposes and why.

BA Business Management ? there is a module called Principles of Marketing.
You may want to discuss how two brands choose different marketing techniques to reflect the nature of their product.

In part B you are also required to talk about a lecturer in (LJMU)
for example:
? Lecturer: Peter Cureton
o At LJMU since September 2009; also taught at Chester and St Helens College
o CIPD Examiner
o Professional experience: independent management consultant; insurance broker
o Lectures in Resourcing and Talent Management Development and Learning and Human Resource (levels 5 and 6)
o Research interests: ?theorising human resource development?; manager learning; metaphors for learning
o Publications:
? Book: Stewart, J., and Cureton, P. (2014) Designing Delivering and Evaluating Learning and Development: Essentials for practice. London: CIPD.
? Journal Articles: Gold, J., Walton, J., Cureton, P., & Anderson, L. (2011). Theorising and practitioners in HRD. Journal of European Industrial Training (special edition).
? Conference presentations on contact centres

extra information about Christian Matthews

Biography:
Christian Matthews received his MEng degree in Mechanical Systems & Design Engineering from the University of Liverpool, UK in 2003. He subsequently joined the Powertrain Control Group as a postgraduate research student where his research interests were modelling, system identification and robust control methodologies applied to powertrain systems and transient powertrain testing systems. He received his PhD from the University of Liverpool in December 2007 for his thesis entitled ‘Identification and Robust Control of Automotive Dynamometers’.

In November 2006, he joined add2 ltd where he was a senior systems engineer specialising in Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) technologies and applications. During this time he acted as a company representative in a joint TSB funded research project between add2, The University of Warwick, QinetiQ and Jaguar Land Rover entitled ‘Evolutionary Validation of Complex Systems’ (EVoCS).

In August 2009, Christian was appointed as a lecturer in engineering at Liverpool John Moores University where he is responsible for teaching mechatronics, dynamics and control. In August 2013 he was appointed as Principal Lecturer in Engineering and Technology.

He is a member of the national steering committee of the ?Network for New Academics in Control Engineering? (New-ACE), a member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Research Interests:
Dynamic modelling, system identification, control and simulation.
