Year 1
-
Core modules
-
Engineering Mathematics (CITY1077)
To develop the student's mathematical ability and to apply principles to the solution of engineering problems and to make use of mathematical computer based packages
-
Engineering Science 1 (CITY1078)
An introduction to mechanical principles, energy transfer and AC electrical theory. Mechanical principles including solid mechanics, statics, dynamics and mechanical vibrations. Modes of heat transfer and energy losses. Electrical principles and single phase AC theory.
-
Digital and Analogue Devices and Circuits (CITY1079)
This module provides learners with a practical understanding of a range of digital and analogue devices and circuits in common use within Electrical/Electronic Engineering Systems. Students will analyse the operational principles associated with a number of fundamental electronic building blocks and will consolidate their learning through the practical build, testing and presentation of real circuits.
-
Naval Architecture (CITY1093)
The module introduces the theory of ship stability and the interaction between a vessel, its cargo and counteracting the effects
-
Applications of Pneumatics and Hydraulics (CITY1095)
Learners will investigate pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams, examine the characteristics of components and equipment and evaluate the applications of pneumatics and hydraulics.
-
Object Oriented Programming (CITY1101)
The object oriented programming paradigm requires a programmer to design and develop code by considering what objects may exist in some system, how these are related to each other and how these may interact with each other. It is a proven method for developing reliable modular programs and encourages reuse which shortens development time. This module provides an introduction to the object-oriented programming paradigm.

Core modules
-
Industrial Control and Mechatronics (CITY2081)
This module will introduce a multidisciplinary view of typical mechatronic systems integrating a number of engineering disciplines. Learners will analyse individual elements before identifying the interface and control methods used to combine those elements into a complete system. Learners will then apply formal design methodologies to implement and test a simple mechatronic system.
-
Advanced CAD & FEA (CITY2093)
The development of 3D modelling techniques, Surface and Solid modelling within a dedicated 3D modelling package. Creating 3D visualisation and animations to communicate design concepts. Produce full sets of drawings, BOM’s and manufacturing information. Analyse the stresses and strains on structures using FEA techniques to achieve an optimised design solution.
-
Composites Materials for the Marine Industry (CITY2095)
-
Project (CITY2097)
An integration of the skills and knowledge developed in other modules of the course within a major piece of work that allows the student to develop the ability to work individually; and with others, within a defined timescale and given constraints, to produce an acceptable and viable solution to an agreed brief.
-
Fluid mechanics and CFD (CITY2098)
This module considers fundamental concepts of fluid static, continuity, viscosity and flow and provides the working principle of hydraulic systems and machinery.
-
Software Development (CITY2108)
This module explores the principles and techniques of software development. The learners will acquire an understanding of analysis, design, software construction and testing both in independent and collaborative development. Various design patterns and software architectures and frameworks are explored and professional skills such as UML and Agile are developed.
