The unit deals with engineering analysis, modelling, and laboratory practice. It provides the basis for further study in the three traditional disciplines of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering.
Students learn to apply their mathematics and physics to the analysis of engineering problems.
Hands-on laboratory work, and report writing develop skills in these two important areas. The deliver of the unit, and its assessment, is designed to bridge the gap between school and the more formal teaching of engineering in the later years of the course. The unit consists of four components. A minimum degree of proficiency in each section is necessary to obtain a pass in the subject. Details shown above were correct at the time of publication.
