Aims
The aims of this module are:
To enhance knowledge and understanding of electrical and electronic circuits by completing a set of practical experiments;
To gain experience in practical design of electronic circuits including prototyping and PCB design and manufacture;
To develop professional practical skills;
To undertake experimental laboratory work;
To analyse and critically evaluate technical issues;
To present and document ideas and results;
To develop the ability in data manipulation and sorting;
To develop a personal development plan and understand the impact that engineering has on the environment.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Safely carry out a range of basic Laboratory procedures using standard processes.
2.
Process data collected during an experiment, use CAD tools for design and simulation, and produce a formal written report with conclusions.
3.
Demonstrate their commitment to undertake the on-going personal development required to become a professional engineer. Identify and reflect upon the following aspects of personal development: strengths and weaknesses, motivations and values, ability to work with others.
4.
Work as a team to gather data analyse the results and discuss the benefits and issues of various affordable, renewable energy systems.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
You will acquire essential skills in Electrical Engineering Practice through activities in four blocks:
1. Laboratory and Practical workshop skills, Health, safety and risk assessment, Reading schematic drawings, Use of Instruments and taking measurement
2. Personal Development, Ethical responsibilities, Team working, Introduction to research skills of Professional body
requirements
3. Experimental Methods, Report writing, Handling experimental data, Graphical representation, Errors, Analysis of
results, and the formulation of conclusions
4. Experimental Practice, Complete a series of experiments, Keeping a logbook to record notes, Measurements and
observations, Product prototyping

Additional Information:
The assessment of this module is by online assessment (online quiz). A Professional Practice test is used to assess your reflectiveness and aspirations. The Written Report is an Academic Paper students will construct for one of the lab experiments. The report is a pass/fail component. Students will answer questions on the report in an online quiz. Students will also do some fieldwork activities as part of this component. Students will also undertake a mini project in a group (team-working) where they will construct a working product. This is a pass/fail activity and students will take an online quiz based on what they did during the development of this component. The pass/fail components will negate the associated assessment if not completed.

CEng.
M8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct.
M11 Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion.
M16 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance.
M18 Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD.
IEng.
B1 Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering
principles to broadly-defined problems. Some of the knowledge will be informed by current developments in the subject of study.
B2 Analyse broadly-defined problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles.
B3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model broadly-defined problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
B4 Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address broadly-defined problems.
B5 Design solutions for broadly-defined problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
B11 Recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion.
B12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate broadly-defined problems.
B13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes.
B16 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team.
