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.
