SOUD1533
Engineering Science
Introduction to Engineering science principles that are central to the design of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering systems which will also provide broad knowledge for Engineering professionals. This module will provide an introduction to AC and DC circuit theory, along with Static and Dynamic Mechanical principles for further modules fundamental to the safe and efficient design and production of engineering systems
SOUD1536
Manufacturing and Materials
This module provides an introduction to engineering material properties, selection and processing of materials for engineering applications, methods of inspection and tests. It continues to investigate the links between material structure, properties and appropriate manufacturing methods, materials properties and applies these to traditional and non-traditional manufacturing techniques. Students should gain knowledge of how material properties affect manufacturing choices
SOUD1537
Industrial CAD Practices
This module will introduce learners to 2D, 3D and Parametric design software and processes. Learners will gain a working knowledge of the software and tools available for component design and the creation of product documentation through hands-on 2D detailing and 3D modelling exercises to generate a comprehensive evidence portfolio
SOUD1538
Engineering Project
This module introduces students to the frameworks and structures that modern design principles and introduction to a CAD modelling software required for use within the industry. Students will explore the importance of engineers working as the link between theory and the needs of customers
SOUD1540
Engineering Mathematics
This module is designed to provide an introduction to mathematical principles that underpin the knowledge and skills required for an engineering environment. A focus will be made on applying mathematics to practical engineering scenarios, demonstrating an effective problem-solving methodology
