Engineering

About this course

Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to the design, construction, and operation of structures, machines, systems, and processes. It encompasses an extraordinarily wide range of specialisms, from civil and structural engineering to mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, and software engineering, but all share a commitment to solving practical problems with rigour, creativity, and an understanding of the physical world. Studying engineering develops analytical thinking, mathematical fluency, practical problem-solving skills, and an appreciation of how designed systems must function reliably, safely, and sustainably in the real world. The Open University offers engineering on a part-time basis through distance learning, making it accessible to students who are already working in technical roles or who cannot attend campus.
