History has a life which stretches far beyond the ivory tower of academia and university study. This module encourages you to reflect on how historians translate academic knowledge into public history. It introduces you to the many different audiences for history and invites you to consider some of the ways in which history is produced for and delivered to these audiences. By considering a range of public history outcomes – such as popular publications, museum displays, exhibitions, podcasts, films, and even video games – you will explore the major strategies and current debates around the practice of public history. And you will also confront some of the practical challenges and ethical dilemmas around the creation of public history. The module will provoke you to think about the relationship between history and its various public(s) in order to understand the complex nature of these audiences. Throughout the module, you will have the opportunity to draw on your own specific historical interests, considering how these topics are presented to a broad range of audiences.

This is the first module in your studies and therefore for most people becomes an introduction to studying at masters level. The intention is that you will gain the skills to effectively read, understand and critique current research in the field of education; helping you become a critical consumer of research as a practitioner. You will use these important skills in your other modules and during your dissertation.

This module considers the generic aspects of decision processes that take place at individual and organisational levels and demonstrates how various lines of enquiry and analytical techniques can help achieve better quality decisions. It draws sharp attention to the central, yet often neglected, role that judgment and decision making play in determining fortune or failure in all areas of our professional and personal lives. To this end, students are exposed to a range of theoretical perspectives, research findings and historical examples that highlight the limitations and shortcomings of many commonly used approaches to decision making. Students will then learn how to utilise a range of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods to help them better understand and make decisions. They will practice thinking critically about the strengths and weaknesses of these methods in order to develop the ability to select the most appropriate decision analysis technique(s) for each situation. The module, therefore, provides students with (i) a deep appreciation of how decision processes impact on the ability of individuals and organisations to effectively achieve objectives (ii) comprehensive knowledge of the limitations and biases inherent in human judgment and (iii) the ability to select and apply a range of decision making tools and techniques based on a critical understanding of the extent to which such approaches can facilitate successful decision making.

This module will provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to:
- Plan, cost and manage an engineering project in the presence of risk and uncertainty
- Understand the role of stochastic & statistical modelling approaches in quantifying uncertainty and its impact
- Commercialise their ideas and plan for and manage the continuity of their business
- Act ethically and inclusively throughout their careers
- Understand the aspects of law, intellectual property rights and export control relevant to an engineering career

A combination of lectures including real-world case studies will be used to provide students with experience of these topics and illustrate their importance in modern engineering.
