Foundations of Engineering

Module code: SEF046

Credits: 15.0
Semester: YEAR

Contact: Mr Raza Shah

The module provides an introduction to engineering through the application of scientific principles to solve practical engineering problems. It includes discussions on applications in the engineering field and the standardisation of units through key engineering principles, engineering calculations, mechanical applications, material behaviour and stress analysis. Key engineering topics will be covered, such as, forces and static systems; equilibrant forces and maintaining equilibrium; stress-strain behaviour of materials; structures under load and structural design; tensile, compressive and shear forces; bending stresses in beams; power transmission systems; internal combustion engines (I.C.)
