Module Aims
To explain the safe use of appropriate concepts applicable to data capture and evaluation when undertaking TERP activities in the design, manufacture, and lifecycle evaluation of ammunition and explosives.
To outline appropriate recognised tools and techniques for undertaking qualitative and quantitative data captured in TERP activities in the design and manufacture of explosive items to achieve required effects
To enable students to effectively analyse, interpret and predict the response of data sources within TERP activities and translate these into clear, structured system requirements and design solutions.
Content Summary
This module provides students with the Data Capture and Evaluation principles which underpin Explosives Engineering and Design practices. It develops an understanding of the fundamental concepts governing the requirement, capture, validity, analysis and evaluation of technical data, applicable to the Trial, Evaluation, Research and Proof (TERP) of ammunition and explosives. Students will gain the analytical skills required to interpret and predict the response of data sources within engineering systems and energetic events.
Throughout the module, emphasis is placed on the understanding and application of data capture and evaluation techniques and scientific reasoning to practical engineering problems. Concepts such as qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the use of data loggers, high speed cameras, types of uncertainty and data visualisation etc, support the development of analytical and problem-solving capabilities essential to engineering practice. Students are encouraged to adopt a systematic and evidence-based approach, fostering the development of reflective and responsible practitioners capable of applying physical principles within complex and safety-critical environments.
The learning combines core data capture and evaluation concepts with specialist topics that reflect their application within Explosives Engineering and Design. The structure of the module ensures that foundational knowledge is progressively developed and integrated, providing a scientific basis for subsequent study across the wider programme.
