(First two years of BEng Programme)

Programme Description

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.

It is a multi-disciplinary programme designed to provide graduates with modern mechanical engineering education, integrating electronic engineering discipline in the design and development of products. Modern mechanical engineering is now very much an integrated discipline, which harnesses the influence of the other specialists such as electronics, in the design and development of today’s products and therefore will provide enormous employment opportunities, within the sultanate and overseas as well, in almost all modern industries.

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.
