Synopsis

Fundamentals of electrical, chemical and materials engineering will be introduced and applied to provide technological solutions for real-world problems. Theory underpinning analogue and digital circuit design; energy and mass balance; materials processing and the role of functional materials will be presented. The contribution of each topic to a contemporary engineering application will be demonstrated.
Team based projects will highlight the multidisciplinary nature of modern engineering. These concepts will be practiced through hands-on projects carried out by teams. Communication and teamwork skills will be developed through teamwork tasks.

Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. describe, with examples, the multi-disciplinary nature of modern engineering problems
  2. employ standard electrical laboratory equipment to measure electrical quantities used to debug circuits
  3. apply fundamental concepts of resistance, current, voltage and Kirchhoff's Laws to analyze simple circuits
  4. employ fundamental theories of electrical engineering to build analogue and digital circuits
  5. analyse steady state systems with and without chemical reaction through the application of mass balance concepts
  6. analyse thermodynamic processes through the application of energy balance concepts
  7. describe the key properties of functional materials for specified applications
  8. define, measure and summarize the importance of key properties of functional materials on their intended application and explain the structure-property relationship
  9. explain how different material processing routes directly influence material structural properties
  10. develop and apply problem-solving techniques that demonstrate knowledge and application of the technical content considered in the unit
  11. recognize and apply systematic principles of engineering design
  12. complete tasks as part of a team and communicate effectively with team members
  13. prepare and present oral and written reports in a professional engineering format.
