Organisational Behaviour

This module considers how organisational behaviour and attitude influences the behaviour of individuals and groups at work. The module will use a range of theories and managerial approaches to analyse and explain human behaviour at work.

PETR1031
Developing Graduate Skills

This module is designed to enable students to demonstrate that they have all the qualities and transferable skills necessary for appropriate academic work and employment requiring the exercise of responsibility and decision making, including the ability to relate their professional practice to underlying theory and principles.

PETR1092
Analytical Methods

This module focuses upon the mathematical strategies and processes involved in solving a wide range of engineering problems. Develops analytical and algebraic skills transferable to engineering subjects. Gives students the analytical tools to solve problems in their own field and also exposes them to the application of complex number, matrix methods, calculus and statistics across engineering.

PETR1093
Engineering Science

This module provides an introduction to solid mechanics and energy systems so that students will have a firm base from which to work when they under take further studies.

PETR1095
Introduction to Engineering Software

This module explores the application of engineering software to support solutions to engineering problems. These can range from mathematical solutions such as the use of Matlab, to electronic simulation, programmable logic controllers, CNC programming. A range of engineering software will allow students to select and explore engineering solutions

PETR1143
Advanced CAD Techniques

This module develops both 2D and 3D modelling skills and the use of computer simulation in support of engineering tasks. The principal activity will be developing a portfolio of engineering drawings and designs by working through graded tasks. Students’ produce working drawings and designs, where some are used produce animations and analysis.

PETR2123
Level 5 Project

This module is an individual investigation of a specific problem in any of the engineering disciplines encountered in the programme. It represents a significant amount of work in which the student is proactive in managing their own learning and other resources needed to find a solution to the task which will normally relate to the student’s place of work

PETR2127
Manufacturing Systems

This module introduces students to the concepts of modern industrial management and control philosophies to manufacturing plant.

PETR2128
Manufacturing Processes

The module investigates the use of conventional and non-conventional forming and machining techniques used in component manufacture in modern engineering industry.

PETR2129
Mechanical Principles

This module introduces the student to an extended range of mechanical principles which underpin the analysis and design of engineering systems.

PETR2130
Instrumentation and Control

This module introduces electrical and mechanical engineering students to basic instrumentation in terms of measuring system approach. Develops knowledge understanding sensor technologies in the application and determining the calibration requirements. Solve problems using modern control systems approach. Appreciate the major developments in digital technologies that impact on instrumentation and control.

PETR2131
Design Processes

This module consists of a lecture course including design methodology, information gathering and interpretation, and the design of a range of machine elements. Students work individually or in small groups on design assignments.
