This module forms the foundation engineering knowledge, the module is designed to let you explore mechanical and electrical engineering foundations and build a firm foundation for subsequent study in engineering as you move into the full BEng programmes.
It begins with an introduction to Newton’s laws of motion and ends with the application of static mechanics to determine the forces, moments and deflections acting on simple mechanical systems under load. The latter forms a strong foundation to develop further skills and knowledge in the BEng mechanical engineering degree programme.
The module also aims to provide you with the grounding fundamentals in electricity that are required for further study in engineering and/or science.
