STUDY

Completing a piece of research is an opportunity for you to showcase your intellect and talents. It integrates knowledge with different skills and abilities that may not have been assessed previously, which may include seeking out and reviewing original research papers, designing their own experimental work, solving problems as they arise, managing time, finding new ways of analysing and presenting data, and writing an extensive report.

The unit will prepare you to analyse and model engineering/manufacturing situations using mathematical techniques. Among the topics included in this unit are: number theory, complex numbers, matrix theory, linear equations, numerical integration, numerical differentiation, and graphical representations of curves for estimation within an engineering/manufacturing context.

The aim of this unit is to introduce you to the principles and processes of lean manufacturing, so that you can become an effective and committed practitioner of lean in whatever industry sector you are employed in. you will explore the tools and techniques that are applied by organisations practicing lean.

The aim of this unit is to continue building up on the knowledge gained previous units to provide you with the professional standards for engineers and to guide you on how to develop the range of employability skills needed by professional engineers. This unit is assessed by a Pearson-set theme

The emphasis in this unit will be in developing a structured approach to the analysis of AC single-phase and three-phase powered circuitry. This will help you to arrive at the solution in the most efficient way, with the greatest probability of it being correct. In addition, you will be introduced to the expanding use of computers, using specialised software to solve electrical, electronic, and digital circuits.

A mechanical engineer is required to have an advanced knowledge of most of the machinery used within the engineering industry, and should understand the physical laws that influence their operation. The aim of this unit is to continue covering the topics discussed in the Mechanical Principles and other higher-level topics.

This unit aims to provide a rational understanding of functional thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in common industrial applications. The unit promotes a problem-based approach to solving realistic work-related quandaries such as steam plant efficiency and fluid flow capacities, and complements other units such. You will examine fundamental thermodynamic principles, steam and gas turbine systems, and viscosity in fluids, along with static and dynamic fluid systems.
