The aim of this module is for students to be able to develop and effectively use the necessary range of appropriate skills in reading, study, written and oral communication and research required for their future career development.
A basic level of numeracy and mathematical competence is needed for every course at University and this module will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. You will have weekly lectures as well as team based learning sessions which have been specially designed to help you to overcome any difficulties that you might encounter.
This module is designed to give you some more advanced mathematical skills and tools which are needed in courses with a stronger maths focus such as computer science or engineering. You will have weekly lectures as well as team based learning sessions which have been specially designed to help you to overcome any difficulties that you might encounter.
In this module you will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and principles common to modern computer systems, including the underpinning mathematics where required. This will enable you to develop an understanding of abstraction, data and number representation. You will use a programming language to develop solutions to problems using algorithms and applying computer logic. For the practical work you will use a simple, inexpensive computer that you will study from both software and hardward perspectives. This will culminate in you developing and testing a complete system to meet the requirements specified.
To introduce applications of science of engineering within the mechanical and electronic / electrical sector. To give an applied overview with in the subject using practical based themes, such as "how do you make a headphones amplifier?", "why does a bridge not collapse?", "can I design an LED torch?", " what happens when I stand on a cardboard tube?"
This module introduces the fundamental principles of problem solving. It focuses on practical problems from within the disciplines of Science and Engineering, and the design of potential solutions using flow charts and simple algorithms. The implementation of solutions is performed using suitable IT applications and an introduction to basic data processing using a simple programming language. Indicatively, the practical programs are expected to follow a set number of themes reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
