This unit is a project-based unit with some early lecture-based teaching, assessed entirely through coursework.
The unit provides students with the basic analysis tools and design knowledge necessary to tackle the design of an electro-mechanical problem. The unit will introduce design tools and analysis methodologies applicable across the electrical and mechanical interface.
Students will be set a design task related to an electro-mechanical system employing the design/drawing skills and knowledge of manufacture methods taught earlier to reinforce and apply the concepts covered by other units, in a synoptic assessment. . This will enable them to create links between engineering disciplines and apply their knowledge to work to a design brief/specification.
Working in small groups each group will be required to produce design calculations for the problem set and then manufacture and experimentally validate this design.
Students will then be required to submit a joint report detailing their design calculations, drawing, experimental finding, critical appraisal, and reflection, forming the basis of the summative assessment.
Upon successful completion of the unit students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, sketching/drawing/design workshops and self-directed exercises.
The unit will be assessed through two summative assessments.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. EENG10003).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
