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.

This module provides the student with the fundamental principles underlying the mechanical and electrical properties of materials.

The module introduces the students to personal development planning, student centered learning and reflective practice. The students will deliberately reflect on their learning to date and on their aspirations and forthcoming demands, in order to determine a plan for their future in both the short and the long term. The module will also include practice in some core skills that underpin effective learning in higher education and in the workplace.

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 hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and thermodynamic systems.

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.

The module provides a grounding in a range of mathematical topics including algebraic manipulation, logarithmic and exponential functions, trigonometry, matrices, vectors, complex numbers, differential and integral calculus, elementary differential equations, as well as an introduction to basic statistical techniques. Applications of the mathematics are considered whenever appropriate.

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.

The aim of this module is to provide a set of competencies which enable the student to utilise a variety of application-specific, industry standard CAD and CAM packages, and provide an introductory knowledge in structure grahphics programming.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with a foundation in the principles of discrete and continuous control systems. First an understanding of control systems will be developed, followed by a study of the performance characteristics of control systems.

The background to safety management including; an overall consideration of hazards and risk assessment. Control of hazardous substances. Fires and explosions. Process measurement in an hazardous environment. Plant safety, safe design, safe working and safe use of equipment. Safe working related to petroleum extraction and refining.

This module develops the skills required for material selection for piping and accessories, pressure vessels and other components for process systems. The module will also provide the basic theories of corrosion and understanding of corrosion prevention. Further it develops the skills in fabrication technologies such as welding, pipe fitting and the common methods of non-destructive testing.

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.

This module introduces basic aspects of industrial chemistry and analytical methods. Chemical equilibrium and reactive process will be outlined. Further, unit operations with specific importance to flow through pipes, and heat and mass transfer aspects will be provided.

This Professional development planning module is designed to build on previous personal and academic experience, and learning, to enable the student to plan for their future. It seeks to support learners in developing into effective reflective practitioners. The module encourages examination of the students’ wider environment and includes practice in the application of personal skills.

This module extends the knowledge gained to transducers in Mechatronics 1 (ENGM243) to measurement systems relevant to the process industries. It also covers the techniques of communicating the measurement results throughout a process plant.
