Course Modules

This module builds on your studies in Mathematical Principles I and is essential for studying other modules in both electrical and mechanical engineering.

This module will introduce you to the fundamental semiconductor devices, their operation and characteristics, and their applications in power electronic converters and how these are used in electrical energy conversion. You will also discover the basic types of electrical machines

This module will give you a basic grounding in business so that you can appreciate the importance of business in engineering and have the business knowledge necessary to set-up and run a limited business.

This module will introduce you communications systems and takes a wide-ranging approach while focusing on the core theoretical concepts required by all communications systems.

This module will give you a thorough understanding of the principles of a closed-loop control system. The module will also provide a framework within which you can carry out tasks such as state -space modelling, control performance analysis, controller design

This module is an opportunity to work in a group on a defined project offered by departmental staff. You will develop your research, planning and practical skills, from inception to completion, and develop skills in appraising your results to identify

This module will introduce you to the fundamental operating principles of commonly adopted renewable energy sources and the economic and ecological impact of these different generation types. You will cover electrified transportation and explore the technologies for future ‘smart grid’

This module prepares you for full participation and engagement in engineering studies, by equipping you with effective and efficient communication and study skills, and practical exercises to apply these skills to engineering studies. You are provided with the relevant skills

The module aims to provide you with the grounding fundamentals in electricity that are required for further study in engineering and/or science. The module also provides you with an overview of electrical engineering in general.

The module aims to develop your basic laboratory and analytical techniques and develop your mathematical, statistical and IT skills. You will practise recording laboratory data and maintaining a lab-book. You are encouraged to think independently, analytically and creatively in order
