Required modules

Students study 8 core modules.

Electronic Systems

This module develops a basic understanding of the fundamentals and principles of analogy and digital circuits and electronic devices. This understanding is a critical step towards being able to design new electronic circuits or use them appropriately as part of a larger engineering system. The module is designed to be a broad introduction to electronic systems for students from diverse engineering disciplines.

Engineering Mechanics – Dynamics

This module teaches students how to apply Newtonian physics to analyse relatively simple physical mechanisms with some emphasis on commonly encountered engineering applications. It follows on from the Engineering Mechanics - Statics module, but considers systems that are not in equilibrium i.e. with velocity and acceleration. Some of the topics covered are pure kinematics (a mathematical description of motion only), while others are kinetic.

Engineering Mechanics – Statics

This module familiarises students with the principles of static equilibrium by applying Newton's laws of motion to solve engineering problems. Emphasis is placed on drawing free body diagrams and self-checking strategies. Topics include introduction to forces; 2D equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; centre of gravity and centroids; distributed loading and hydrostatics; friction; analysis of truss structures; and shear force and bending moment diagrams.
