Module: 3ET007

Credits: 20

Period: 1

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

To introduce applications of science of engineering within the mechanical and electronic / electrical sector. To give an applied overview with in the subject using practical based themes, such as "how do you make a headphones amplifier?", "why does a bridge not collapse?", "can I design an LED torch?", " what happens when I stand on a cardboard tube?"

Module: 3CC004

Period: 1

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module introduces the fundamental principles of problem solving. It focuses on practical problems from within the disciplines of Science and Engineering, and the design of potential solutions using flow charts and simple algorithms. The implementation of solutions is performed using suitable IT applications and an introduction to basic data processing using a simple programming language. Indicatively, the practical programs are expected to follow a set number of themes reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Module: 3CS001

Credits: 20

Period: 1

Type: Optional

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

In this module you will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and principles common to modern computer systems, including the underpinning mathematics where required. This will enable you to develop an understanding of abstraction, data and number representation. You will use a programming language to develop solutions to problems using algorithms and applying computer logic. For the practical work you will use a simple, inexpensive computer that you will study from both software and hardward perspectives. This will culminate in you developing and testing a complete system to meet the requirements specified.

Physics is the science of understanding, interpreting and engineering the physical universe. To do so, it relies on a broad set of other disciplines: from pure mathematics which describes fundamental physical laws - to experimental physics, providing both tests of the theory and further insights by systematic explorations or merely trials and errors. This module will first establish the foundations of the discipline, including scientific notations, physical units and dimensional analysis and a survey of mathematical representations of the physical world. It will then introduce the various tools, methods and ways of thinking of a physicist through a combined in-class/laboratory investigation of two of the key notions of physics, namely, oscillations and waves, and forces and energies. These will be illustrated from their manifestation in a range of disciplines, including optics, mechanics and electromagnetism. The emphasis will be on the phenomenology rather than on abstract and sophisticated models. The course is a good introduction to important notions used throughout the scientific spectrum and will provide adequate preparation for more in-depth studies, including for the BSc (Hons) Applied Physics.

Module: 4MA009

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: University Telford Campus

To ensure that students develop competence in the use of current computer aided design software and are able to apply it to appropriate system, component and assembly design problems.

Module: 4MA014

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: University Telford Campus

This Module enables the student to acquire an introductory level of knowledge, reasoning ability and practical skills for the operation, testing, diagnostics and adjustments of the main car chassis systems and engine unit. This is done through a combination of class room, on-line and practical activities.
