Compulsory modules

Project Design and Management

The aims of this module are to:

  • Further develop methods and tools required for planning and managing an engineering project.
  • Further develop awareness of ethical, environmental and legislative issues regarding engineering projects.
  • Further develop skills in electronics, programming and mechanical design and construction.
  • Use these in the execution of a research, design and build project in a specialised area of electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering.

Wind and Solar Power

The aims of this module is to provide students with working knowledge of wind power and solar photovoltaic systems.

Energy Storage Technologies

The aims of the module are to introduce and evaluate major energy storage technologies, including thermal, batteries, hydrogen, pumped hydro, and electrochemical technologies. The fundamental aspects of the integration of energy storage technologies into low-carbon renewable energy generation systems also will be introduced. Ultimately, this module aims to learn about methodological approaches to assess energy storage systems and to form own solutions through portfolio writing work.
