MODULE AIMS: To extend the understanding and use the principles of engineering science as affecting the design and manufacturing capability of the mechanical engineering manufacturing industry. To impart the ability to analyse dynamic loads, energy needs, thermodynamics and fluid mechanisms, principles of mass, momentum and energy. ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (additional guidance below) At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Demonstrate critical understanding of the use, potential and limitations of stress analysis techniques in design, service life, cost and weight of commonly encountered engineering components. Demonstrate critical understanding of the use of dynamic analysis in the description of the behaviour of dynamic systems. Demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics and heat transfer in the analysis and operation of thermal systems. Evaluate the use of computer-aided engineering techniques for solving engineering problems. 22 April DATE OF APPROVAL: FACULTY/OFFICE: Academic Partnerships 2016 01 Sep DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: SCHOOL/PARTNER: Cornwall College 2016 DATE(S) OF APPROVED CHANGE: TERM/SEMESTER: All Year Additional notes (for office use only): SECTION B: DETAILS OF TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT ACADEMIC YEAR: 2017 - 2018 NATIONAL COST CENTRE: 115 MODULE LEADER: Dr Richard Randall OTHER MODULE STAFF: None SUMMARY of MODULE CONTENT Strength of materials; 2D stress and strain, isotropic elastic materials, theories of failure of ductile materials, von Mises theory.
