Aims
- To provide a sound grounding in the areas covered by the module
- To be able to apply the knowledge gained to solve a range of predictable problems
- To show how the material covered in this module fits in to the wider engineering context
Content
- Thermodynamics - concepts and properties, first and second law
- Fluid Mechanics - Dimensional Analysis, fluid statics and dynamics
- Computer programming, part B
Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge
- An understanding of heat, work, internal energy, 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics
- An understanding of Dimensional Analysis, fluid statics and dynamics
- A knowledge of the facilities in programming languages required to write engineering design programs
Subject-specific Skills
- Solution of problems involving basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
- The design, implementation and testing of computer programs for design applications
Key Skills
- Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer
- Competent use of IT relevant to an engineer
- General problem solving skills
Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- Lectures and associated tutorials, as lectures are the most efficient way to impart the required knowledge in this context
- Laboratory sessions, with formative assessment, as these reinforce and provide application of the student's knowledge
- Application of course material to weekly problem sheets, as this reinforces knowledge and provides training in problem solving
- Formative assessment of formal laboratory reports, as this trains the student in collating, analysing and presenting detailed technical information
- Summative assessment of a Computing assignment, as this tests the ability of the student to Design, Implement and Test computer programs to solve Engineering problems
- Written examinations, as these can directly assess knowledge, understanding and problem solving ability
