MODULE OBJECTIVES
Core Modules
Mathematics and Programming
On completion of the module, students should be able to solve
engineering problems involving algebra, indices, logarithms, graphs,
trigonometry and basic statistics, and to perform computing tasks
using a programming software.
Machining and CNC Technology
On completion of the module, students should be able to machine
components using milling machines and centre lathes, create NC
part programs and apply the principles of measurement.
Automation and Controls
On completion of the module, students should be able to construct
wired logic circuits and write control programs using programmable
logic controllers (PLC) and micro-controllers in basic automation
systems.
Materials and Process Technology
On completion of the module, students should be able to conduct
destructive tests and non-destructive tests, and carry out machining
processes using surface and cylindrical grinding machines and
EDM.
Engineering Design and Mechanics
On completion of the module, students should be able to apply the
laws and principles of statics and dynamics and the fundamentals
of engineering design to design a mechanical system comprising
various machine elements.
Project
On completion of the module, students should be able to apply and
integrate the technical, social and methodological competencies in
carrying out a project related to their field of study.
Specialisation Modules
Industrial Automation
Industrial Automation and Robotics
On completion of the module, students should be able to construct
electro-pneumatic circuits, program PLCs and industrial robots.
Digital Controls
