Module Aims
To gain and understanding and application of the fundamentals of electrical science.
To gain and understanding and application of programming devices.
Content Summary
The first element of the module will focus on the foundational principles of electricals science, covering: Materials, Quantities, DC circuit analysis, Resistive networks, Semi-conductor theory, Diodes and transistors, Batteries, Electromagnetism, DC motors and generators. It will consist of theoretical lectures and practicals conducted through simulations. There will be one assessment for this stage in the form of a written task book based on the delivered theoretical and simulated content.
The second element of the module will focus on typical programming devices and programming languages found today, which will cover: PLC’s, Microcontrollers, Development boards, Overview of programming languages, graphical user interfaces. It will consist of theoretical lectures and practicals conducted within an electronics laboratory. There will be one assessment for this stage, which will consist of the delivered theoretical content and the practical content in the form of a presentation in front of the supervisory team and module peers.
