Year Running: 2023/2024
Credit level: F5

Description

This module brings together analytical, computational, and empirical approaches to the design and optimisation of structures and systems. This module also provides you with a basic introduction to electric circuits for mechanical engineers and the basics of electromechanical energy conversion, including common motor topologies. You will develop an understanding of how basic mechanical and electrical theory can be adapted and applied to industrial design situations. You will also develop knowledge and awareness of engineering in terms of being able to make decisions based on limited data and legal, ethical, and economic considerations.
