This module involves active learning where learners participate in a work based group project. The group project topic may have industrial links and involves the practical application of research, design, engineering principles, materials analysis and manufacturing. The group project allows for team development where each member has a defined role to play.
This module also incorporates professional development, which aims to advance the learner's transferrable skills, in order to prepare for employment. Transferrable skills such as project management and organisation, creative problem solving, technical writing and presentation skills are developed in this module.
Title: Heat Transfer

This module aims to develop the learner's ability to apply their technical skills and knowledge to complete an individual technical project. There may be capacity for the individual project to focus on a pre-existing group project, where the focus of the project may be in such areas as characterisation and test of an assembly, product improvements, risk assessment or any other relevant topic agreed between learner and supervisor.
This module also incorporates professional development, which aims to advance the learner's transferrable skills, in order to prepare for employment. Transferrable skills such as project management and organisation, creative problem solving, technical writing and presentation skills are developed in this module.
Title: Industrial Automation

Industrial Automation has evolved as a method of monitoring and controlling large processes. Industrial Automation includes, but is not limited to, control systems integrated with software applications to control and monitor the efficiency of these large processes, reducing the need for human intervention
To provide learners with the basic knowledge of Industrial Automation to design, test and edit programmable logic controllers (PLCs), including basic PLC programming and the instrumentation and process control assosiated with this.
Title: Industrial Control and Instrumentation

To provide learners with the knowledge of instrumentation and process control which includes the basic comcepts, the engineering and the installation of control equipment.
Title: Material Selection
Credits: 5

This subject aims to improve the learners knowledge and understanding of materials used by engineers. Learners will apply relevant mechanical equations to practical problems, components and case studies. Learning is enhanced with the use of a material selection software package, (CES Edupack for example). Learners will also analyse mechanical components that are exposed to complex loading. This module will enhance their learning from the Fluids & Mechanics module in Yr 2 and coincide with the Applied Mathematics module in Yr 3. This module is semesterised. Mechanics and Failure Analysis will follow on from it in Semester 2.
