Summary
This module introduces second year undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering to a selected range of activities drawn from the design and development cycle undertaken to provide practical solutions to electrical engineering problems. The activity focuses around hands-on laboratory-based project and team work. Students undertake the development of a power electronic converter system from concept to functional prototype.
Reassessment, if required, will be carried out through a significant practical activity (of 1 week length) during the summer. This will culminate in a technical demonstration and viva.
Target Students
MEng students of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Classes
- One 2-hour lecture each week for 6 weeks
- One 4-hour laboratory each week for 6 weeks
- Four 7-hour laboratorys each week for 6 weeks
Assessment
- 10% Group report: Initial simulation and design report
- 10% PCB design: Individual PCB design exercise with mini report (1 A4 sided)
- 40% Inclass Exam (Practical): A 1-on-1 demonstration of the final system to a member of staff, studnet to explain their contribution to the work
- 40% Viva Voce: A 1-on-1 technical interview, student to andwer questions related to the project
Educational Aims
The aim of this module is for students to gain experience of teamworking within the context of an engineering project. Students will also develop technical skills related to power electronic circuit design, magnetic component design, and power electronics testing.Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
LO1: Collaborate on the production of project documentation
