Course programme
Students study analysis and design of conventional and renewable machinery systems and the use of computers in their advanced engineering analysis. Students gain knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering principles, quantitative methods, and mathematical and computer modelling alongside an awareness of the codes of practice, standards and quality issues within the modern industrial world. They also take modules in project management.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of six core modules (90 credits), one optional module (15 credits) and a research project (75 credits).
Core modules- Power Transmission and Auxiliary Machinery Systems
- Electrical Machines and Power Electronic Drives
- Electrical Power Systems and Electrical Propulsion
- New and Renewable Energy Systems
- Project Management
- Group Project
- Applied Thermodynamics and Turbomachinery
- Vibrations, Acoustics and Control
- Advanced Computer Applications in Engineering
All students undertake an independent research project which culminates in a project report and oral presentation. In many cases the work has some input from industry.
Teaching and learningThis dynamic programme is delivered through lectures, tutorials, individual and group projects, practical laboratory work and coursework assignments, (including computational analysis). Assessment is through written, oral and viva voce examinations and coursework (including the evaluation of laboratory reports, technical and project reports, problem-solving exercises, computational and modelling skills and oral presentations).
