PETR1031
Developing Graduate Skills
This module is designed to enable students to demonstrate that they have all the qualities and transferable skills necessary for appropriate academic work and employment requiring the exercise of responsibility and decision making, including the ability to relate their professional practice to underlying theory and principles.
PETR1034
Electrical and Electronic Principles
This module provides an introduction to electrical and electronic theory so that students will have a firm base from which to work when they undertake further studies.
PETR1091
Electronics
This module provides an introduction to fundamental electronic theory considering a range of analogue and digital circuits and components so that students will have a firm base from which to work when they undertake further studies.
PETR1092
Analytical Methods
This module focuses upon the mathematical strategies and processes involved in solving a wide range of engineering problems. Develops analytical and algebraic skills transferable to engineering subjects. Gives students the analytical tools to solve problems in their own field and also exposes them to the application of complex number, matrix methods, calculus and statistics across engineering.
PETR1004
Organisational Behaviour
This module considers how organisational behaviour and attitude influences the behaviour of individuals and groups at work. The module will use a range of theories and managerial approaches to analyse and explain human behaviour at work.
PETR2031
Electronic System Design
This module builds on the principles of electronics and develops standard circuits into more complex systems.
PETR1143
Advanced CAD Techniques
This module develops both 2D and 3D modelling skills and the use of computer simulation in support of engineering tasks. The principal activity will be developing a portfolio of engineering drawings and designs by working through graded tasks. Students’ produce working drawings and designs, where some are used produce animations and analysis.
PETR2125
Control Principles
This module applies the principles of electrical and electronic theory to the analysis and design of control systems. Develop analytical skills to solve analogue control systems and introduce the background to digital control system design and implementation. Networks and systems will be investigated.
PETR2130
Instrumentation and Control
This module introduces electrical and mechanical engineering students to basic instrumentation in terms of measuring system approach. Develops knowledge understanding sensor technologies in the application and determining the calibration requirements. Solve problems using modern control systems approach. Appreciate the major developments in digital technologies that impact on instrumentation and control.
PETR2123
Level 5 Project
This module is an individual investigation of a specific problem in any of the engineering disciplines encountered in the programme. It represents a significant amount of work in which the student is proactive in managing their own learning and other resources needed to find a solution to the task which will normally relate to the student’s place of work
PETR2124
Micro Programmable Systems
This module provides an implementation from micro programmable system theory to application relating hardware and software programming to engineer working systems. Students will have a good base from which to work when they undertake further study.
PETR2126
Communication Engineering
A study of commonplace systems to uncover the underlying design philosophy and performance characteristics. To further investigate the underlying principles related to modern electronic communications by applying knowledge of communication theory to current systems.
PETR2130
Instrumentation and Control
This module introduces electrical and mechanical engineering students to basic instrumentation in terms of measuring system approach. Develops knowledge understanding sensor technologies in the application and determining the calibration requirements. Solve problems using modern control systems approach. Appreciate the major developments in digital technologies that impact on instrumentation and control.
