Fundamentals of Engineering Economics and Management

Technical engineering skills are the foundation of engineering solutions, but they are no use if they are not applied in efficient and effective ways. Successful engineering projects and ventures require management. This course identifies the different management activities involved and develops the skills necessary for managing technology projects. Professional engineers also need to be able to enhance their technical knowledge with essential workplace skills and a wider understanding of current societal issues if they are to be successful in the global workplace. This course aims to improve your understanding of what it means to be a professional engineer. It also aims to give you an introduction to the skills to evaluate technical solutions from ethical, sustainable and economic points of view.

Power and Analogue Electronics

Analogue electronics is necessary for signal sensing, amplification and filtering before digital techniques can be applied. Power electronics is necessary where efficient manipulation of electrical energy is required, for power supply, motion control and other applications. This course covers the basic principles of both analogue and digital electronic circuits, and the constraints that real components and devices place on these circuits. Emphasis is placed on circuit analysis and design skills.

Electric Power and Machines

This electric power systems course encompasses the concerns of bulk electrical energy, its generation, the bulk transmission, local area distribution and final consumption (the load) as needed by industry, commerce and households. It is a complex subject, as it involves large scale power system interactions involving power-flow, transient stability and system protection, and depends on a multitude of component level characteristics. Renewable generation has added to this complexity. Students in this course will learn analysis techniques for power systems under both steady-state and transient conditions. Basic principles of protection are covered, as are relevant electrical component level concepts, including generators and transformers. The basics of renewable and other energy sources are also covered.
