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.

PETR1140
Engineering 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. Students use reflective techniques to inform and evaluate progress.

PETR1141
Mechatronics

On successful completion of this unit students will be able to explain the basic mechatronic system components and functions, design a simple mechatronic system specification for a given application, use appropriate simulation and modelling software to examine its operation and function, and solve faults on mechatronic systems using a range of techniques and methods

PETR1090
Research and Context

This module enables students to gain knowledge of theory, principles and transferable skills, to support an emerging professional practice. The application of that knowledge will embrace written responses and portfolio building (PDP). Students will demonstrate awareness of their subject sector, its contemporary and traditional practice, employability and entrepreneurial requirements

PETR2110
Robotic and Automation Systems

This module extends on mechatronics fundamentals to develop appreciation and the analytical skills to assess the suitability of robots, automation components and systems are fit for purpose, use various methods to assess the appropriate programming and set up for safe operation.

PETR2127
Manufacturing Systems

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

PETR1094
Engineering Materials

This module provides an introduction to material characteristic and classification. Develop knowledge and understanding of the relationship between observation and materials testing technique. To take account of the requirements of destructive and non-destructive testing. Students will have a firm base from which to work when they under take further studies.

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.

PETR2129
Mechanical Principles

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

PETR2111
Production Management

This module investigates the functions, structures and inter-relationships of a manufacturing organisation. Learners will apply the skills of costing, financial planning and control associated with manufacturing processes. Learners will explore the principles and applications of business performance improvement using a range of different techniques and methodologies in order to improve value.

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

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
