Final year (national level 6):
Project (40 credits)
Undertake a unique engineering project that builds on one or more of the topics you've studied throughout your course. Conduct research and resolve an engineering problem in an area of practice that is interesting to you. Enhance your time-management and research skills.
Electrical Power (20 credits)
Expand your knowledge of the practical applications and performance characteristics of DC machines, AC motors, and generators, their operation, performance, and control. Design, model and analyse the behavior of electrical machines under normal and abnormal conditions. Critically analyse the stability requirements, the load flow and fault capabilities of a power network, including protection interruption requirements.
Electronic Systems (20 credits)
Consider the design of complex multivariable combinational and sequential logic circuits. Directly apply digital design principles to practical problems. Appraise circuit designs and formulate designs to improve them.
Manufacturing Systems Design (20 credits)
Discover a range of tools that can be applied within a manufacturing context to analyse existing performance and aid the development of models and systems which achieve an enhanced level of productivity. Develop your knowledge of modern measurement and control tools.
Professional Engineering Management Techniques (20 credits)
Explore some of the soft skills outlined in the UK-SPEC which are pre-requisites to chartered status. Develop your communication and interpersonal skills alongside the design and development of processes and systems. Discover more about project management, and some of the techniques associated with it.
