Aims

This module is part of a unified study of the main disciplines of engineering for year 2 students on either the M Eng or B Eng.
It covers Manufacture and Management: General management issues and skills for the engineer, manufacturing management, and Electromechanics: Power systems, synchronous machines, induction machines.
To provide opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes appropriate to the subject matter covered by this module.

Content

Manufacture and Management: General management issues and skills for the engineer, manufacturing management.
Electromechanics: Power systems, synchronous machines, induction machines.

Learning Outcomes

Subject-specific Knowledge

At the end of the year the student should be able demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, theory and application of Electromechanics.
To understand the factors determining business strategy and performance.
To appreciate the nature and scope of key management issues.

Subject-specific Skills

Selection and application of appropriate analysis techniques.
Preparation of technical report.

Key Skills

Numerical skills.
Time and resource management.

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

The courses in Manufacture and Management, and Electromechanics are covered in lectures, and are reinforced in seminars and with problem sheets, and two case study assignments.
Assessment of the electromechanics element is by written examination which enables each student to demonstrate an ability to analyse and solve new problems.
Assessment of the Manufacture and Management element is through written examination and two written assignments which give students the opportunity to select, evaluate and apply appropriate data and techniques.
a laboratory programme provides formative, hands-on experience in electromagnetism.
