Aims
This module has two distinct and complementary aims:
- To develop a systems approach to the analysis and design of complex electrical and/or mechanical systems. In order to ensure that students learn how to approach unfamiliar problems, the case studies used will involve the selection of a number of interrelated sub-systems and include elements beyond the students’ prior experience and outside their individual subject specialisms.
- To develop modelling skills that enable real systems to be simulated to a greater degree of accuracy than can be achieved by conventional mathematical analysis.
In order to provide realistic examples, students will use the systems and subsystems identified in 1) for the modelling in 2).
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically analyse the requirements of an electro-mechanical system.
2.
Design an appropriate systems solution for a given electro-mechanical requirement.
3.
Produce and critically evaluate simulation models for specified subsystems and critically evaluate against design criteria
4.
Integrate subsystem models to simulate whole systems and critically evaluate against design criteria
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Engineering Systems: Parts of a typical system, alternative approaches to design of subsystems.
Application of knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of loosely defined problems
Selection of appropriate devices to meet a realistic brief.
Introduction to simulation tools, processing arrays and graphing results.
Creation of a realistic model of a specified subsystem
Integration of models
Other simulation techniques
Investigation of failure risks through simulation
