What You’ll Learn
Modules
Systems Design
The learning aims of this module are to develop your independent, critical and analytical abilities through the medium of services systems design. Extend problem solving abilities with regard to building services systems, network analysis and to develop a case study approach to the evaluation of building services design.
Plant and Maintenance
The module will develop your understanding and application of knowledge of building services plant to allow you to critically evaluate and predict plant and systems performance by the use of analytical and numerical techniques. You'll also learn about various methods of maintenance and management of building services within the context of regulatory framework and be able to appreciate the use of computer-based systems of maintenance including open systems.
Design Project 3 (CEF Module) (CEF code: 36Z121400)
The engineering design project is intended to provide you with the opportunity to extend your existing knowledge and demonstrate engineering project skills both as team members and as an individual. This module will enable you to develop your critical thinking, problem solving and key skills in application to a case study example using appropriate tools of analysis and communication.
Intelligent Buildings (CEF Module) (CEF code: 36Z121419)
This module has the following learning aims: To provide the underlying concepts of intelligent buildings, the working principles of hands-on experience on building automation systems, office automation systems, and communication systems. To provide knowledge of the construction and installation of the structured cabling systems enabling integrated system connections.
Alternative Energy Technology (CEF Module) (CEF code: 36Z121397)
This module introduces various emerging renewable energy technologies which are likely to mitigate the damaging effect of current energy technologies on the climate.
Engineering Dissertation
The nature of the dissertation is to present you with a challenge, the solution of which is not readily available, and it will therefore involve you in original work. On an individual basis, you'll be required to carry out an in-depth investigation involving theoretical, experimental or investigative analysis or a combination of these
