The aim of the module is to improve computer literacy and to develop the ability to solve 'real' engineering problems by numerical methods.

The aim of the module is:

• To  develop the fundamental transferable skills and methodologies necessary for creating sound conceptual solutions to real design problems in an industrial context.
• To build confidence and provide experience through working within a team and with practising engineers from industry.

The aims of this module are:

• to give students an understanding of some advanced mathematical techniques which are applicable to problems in mechanical engineering;
• to ensure that students are competent in doing calculations using these techniques.

The aim of this module is to consolidate and build on the ideas and skills introduced in the first year Mechanics of Materials module WSA100. Students will be able to carry out strength and deflection analyses for a variety of simple load cases and structures, will understand the simplifications used in such analyses and appreciate the role of stress analysis and failure prediction in the design environment.

The aim of this module is to consolidate and build on the ideas and skills introduced in Engineering Mechanics module MMA100. Students will be able to develop their ability to model dynamic systems with particular reference to vibration analysis in practical engineering applications.

The aim of the module is to introduce modelling and control of dynamic systems using classical control techniques.

The aim of the module is to build on the basic thermodynamics knowledge gained in the prerequisite module (WSA800) and apply to real thermodynamic problems.

The aim of the module is:

• To give mechanical engineering students knowledge and understanding of electrical technology.
• To introduce electrical machines (generators and motors) and electrical power systems.

The aim of this module is to provide concepts, knowledge and techniques necessary to design functional mechanical systems appropriate for a range of design contexts, including the analysis thereof.

The aim of this module is to enable students to experience a consolidated form of the product design cycle for a load bearing structure through manual optimisation. This encompasses initial concept generation, analysis and refinement through to manufacture and testing. This will be achieved through group project work involving a supporting lecture programme and problem solving tutorials.

The aim of this module is to provide an introduction to the basic principles and practical applications of conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer.

The aims of this module are to:

• Develop further the steady, incompressible flow, fluid mechanics introduced in Thermofluids 1 & 2.
• To provide an introduction to differential governing equations and non-dimensionalisation.
• To provide an introduction to turbomachinery.
• To provide an introduction to compressible flow theory and problems.
