These are 4-year full time degree/honors programmes consisting
of 2-year full time study at CCEO and upon completion of 2
years, students can proceed to continue 3rd and 4th year of
study at GCU, UK to obtain B.Eng., and B.Eng.(Hons.) respectively
in their respective discipline of study.
Industrial development has experienced increasing thrust
over the immediate past and tends to increase even higher
in the context of Oman and the entire gulf region in general.
The course is designed on a broad multi-disciplinary foundation
with emphasis on specialized areas of manufacture and design.
The first two years of study develop fundamental understanding
in general engineering concepts and provide acumen to apply
new methodologies to operation, control and production of
mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. The later two years
of study provide the students with core engineering practices,
development of analytical ability and interpersonal skills.
Demand for engineering professional with a broad base of
general engineering concepts and skilled in core areas of
manufacture, design and control of manufacturing systems are
the genuine requirements of modern industry.
Employment opportunities exist in a wide variety of industries
including PDO, Oman Refinery Co., Occidental Oman. A lot of
scope is also scattered but huge demand in the consumer durable/electronic
sector in the local private industry.
| Module |
Description |
| Year
-1 |
| Engineering Computing 1 |
This module provides the student with a range of
basic concepts of information technology. It also provides
an introduction to the technical issues which affect
the performance of computer systems in the real world.
|
| Mathematics 1 |
This module aims to study the following mathematical
topics which are fundamental to the applications of
mathematics to engineering problems.
Algebraic manipulation, partial fractions, trigonometry,
complex numbers
(rectangular and polar forms), matrices, vectors, power
series, differentiation (implicit, parametric, partial),
integral calculus. |
| Technology Management 1 (with
PDP) |
The aim of this module is to introduce the student
to the management of technology. The module will provide
the student with an introduction to the role of the
engineering manager in modern industrial organisations.
The student's oral, written and technical communication
skills will also be developed through the use of integrated
study.
|
| Mechanical Principles A |
The aim of this module is to provide the student
with a foundation in the knowledge of Mechanical Engineering
Science and Principles, and apply them to the design
and analysis of engineering components. |
| Mechanical Principles B |
The aim of this module is to provide the student
with a foundation in the knowledge of Mechanical Engineering
Science and principles, and apply them to the design
and analysis of hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and thermodynamic
systems. |
| Electronic and Electrical Principles |
The aim of this module is to develop in the student
an understanding of the basic concepts and principles
of electronic and electrical engineering and apply these
principles to solve engineering problems required for
initial design activities. It provides the student with
the basic knowledge of ac and dc circuit analysis, electric
and magnetic field theory and an introduction to analogue
and digital electronics. |
| Engineering Materials |
This module provides the student with the fundamental
principles underlying the mechanical and electrical
properties of materials. |
| Engineering Applications |
The aim of this module is to develop an understanding
of the role of the professional engineer at work by
the study of products over their whole life. |
| Year - 2 |
| Electronic and Electrical Engineering |
This module reinforces and extends the study of electrical
and electronic principles introduced in the Electrical
Principles Module of the first year of study. Analogue,
digital and power electronic circuits will be analysed
to develop an understanding of their design. |
| Engineering Design & Analysis |
The aim of this module is to develop an understanding
of the formal design process and expand the knowledge
of engineering principles introduced in the first year. |
| Mathematics 2 |
This module aims to build on the work of Level 1
and extend those aspects of Mathematics required in
this and later stages of the degree programme. The module
also provides a grounding in those aspects of Statistics
required in this and later stages of the degree programme. |
| Engineering Computing 2 |
This module provides the student with an in depth
understanding of the structured design and implementation
of software for the engineering environment. It also
develops the student's understanding of computer architecture
in the context of program development and system performance.
|
| Control Engineering 2 |
The aim of this module is to provide the student
with a foundation in instrumentation systems and programmable
logic controllers. |
| Manufacture & Materials 2 |
The aim of this module is:
To provide an understanding of the selection and heat
treatment of alloy steels, cast irons and non-ferrous
metals and alloys; surface hardening of steels; corrosion
prevention methods; an understanding of machinability,
machine tool design and the principles of engineering
metrology; an understanding of the manufacturing techniques
used in the electronic industry. |
| Project Methodology |
The aim of this module is to develop the tools of
project methodology by means of team activities of an
international nature. |
