Aims
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 test design ideas in laboratories or through simulation, to analyse and critically evaluate technical issues, and 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 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 renewable energy systems.
