Exclusions
Description
In this module students will be introduced to the means by which power is generated, distributed and controlled in aerospace applications. This includes, for example, turbine engines, piston engines, electric power, fuel cells, nuclear batteries, solar cells etc. Distribution can be electrical or mechanical (e.g. via gearboxes). Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning will be included too.
Learning Outcomes
These link to the AHEP v4 learning outcomes:
Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study (C1)
Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles (C2)
Design solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards (C5)
Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems (C6)
Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems and minimise adverse impacts (C7)
Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems (C12/M12)
Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations (C13/M13)
Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering (M1)
