PRE-REQUISITES: None
CO-REQUISITES: None
AIMS (DEFINITIVE)
To introduce students to the main thermodynamic principles and laws with
their engineering applications.
To provide an understanding of the main fluid mechanics equations, fluid
properties and their measurements techniques.
To introduce the fundamental principles and engineering applications of stress
analysis, structures and dynamics.
To develop the ability and skills in problem solving related to engineering
problems.
Formal lectures are used to introduce and develop key concepts while the
accompanying programme of laboratory and tutorial sessions focus on examples of
application and give opportunities to acquire deeper insight into the concepts being
explored. The tutorial sessions are integrated into the teaching programme and
provide an opportunity for feedback at regular intervals as part of the various
formative exercises used to prepare students for the summative assessments, these
will include the introduction of the basic analytical techniques used to solve
engineering problems in solid mechanics and thermofluids.
BREAKDOWN OF TEACHING AND LEARNING HOURS
ACHIEVING A PASS
