Aims
- This module is for M.Eng., B.Eng. (Honours) and B.Eng. (Ordinary) students intending to follow a mechanical engineering option at level 3.
- Principles are introduced and/or developed in the subject areas of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, dynamics, vibrations, materials and stress analysis.
Content
- Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, dynamics, vibrations, materials, stress analysis.
Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge
- In-depth knowledge and understanding of engineering subjects and mathematics relevant to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, dynamics, vibrations, materials, stress analysis.
Subject-specific Skills
- To analyse, evaluate and interpret Engineering data.
Key Skills
- Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
- General problem solving skills that can be applied in a novel context.
- Capacity for self-learning in familar and unfamiliar situations
Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- Teaching by lectures and tutorials which are supported by the laboratory programme.
- Written examinations are appropriate because of the wide range of in-depth, analytical material that is covered.
- Laboratory work contributes a formative element to the module and supports the acquisition of subject-specific and key skills.
- This module is complemented by other tied modules which provide a substantial project-based content which is more appropriately evaluated through continuous assessment.
