This module is the lab programme for all first-year students enrolled on an ELEC degree programme. It aims to give students the opportunity to apply the theory that they learn in their other modules, and to provide them with transferrable, subject-based and professional skills that they will need for their degree and career.

Structurally, the ELEC Part One Laboratory Programme is organised to cover all practical and laboratory based work in the first year of study on all ELEC Programmes in a single timetable organised into central laboratory locations.

The module is structured into a series of activities. There are a series of general sessions which all students enrolled on this module are expected to attempt:

•Information lectures.
•Transferable skills laboratories
•Professional skills laboratories.
•Assignments.

In addition, there are a number of technical laboratories integrated into the Laboratory Programme which cover practical Learning Outcomes from other technical modules in the Programmes.

This module provides the students with the opportunity to gain experience in different health, social or community care settings which can be in the UK or abroad - in accordance with prevailing University and Foreign-Commonwealth Office travel guidance.

The module will normally take the format of 8 week placement in one or more healthcare or suitable alternative settings. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of the elective, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable. However, all students should receive the same broad opportunities sufficient to achieve the learning outcomes of the module and it is expected that students will take responsibility for making the most of the opportunities provided.

Students should be pro-active in securing experiences in areas in which they feel they are weak and/or in which they would like to gain more experience. Alternatively students may wish to explore a specialist interest or experience a non-NHS healthcare setting, including charitable organisations, care agencies or research.
Further details will be provided on Blackboard.

It is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without electricity: homes without electric light, without television or radio, without motors to drive the washing machine, the refrigerator and the vacuum cleaner; offices without computers, word processors, telephones and photocopiers. It is almost impossible to think of a railway system without electric signalling and control or a factory production line without electric drives. Wherever we turn we see electricity at work distributing energy, transmitting information, and controlling every conceivable process.

While it is certainly possible to build a mechanical system (mechanisms or machines) with mechanical components only (e.g. early steam engines, boats and aeroplanes), it is more common to see mechanical systems comprising a mix of mechanical and electrical components or mechatronic systems. Modern cars, boats, aeroplanes, robots and digital cameras are good examples.

Learning the subject of electricity is therefore vital to all engineering disciplines including mechanical engineering, aeronautics and astronautics engineering, acoustic engineering and ship science. Not only that a mechanical/aero/astro/acoustic/ship Engineer need to be able to communicate with other electrical and electronic engineers in a multidisciplinary project he/she will often find themselves having to actually design or operate the electrical or electronic subsystems.

The aim of this module is to introduce the subject of electricity and electrical systems focusing on the fundamentals of the subject in the context of applications in the areas of mechanical, aero, acoustic and ship engineering. These application areas are primarily in the areas of measurement and control. The fundamentals introduced in this module will be built on by other subjects such as advanced modules on electrical and electronic systems, measurement and instrumentation modules, avionics and control system modules. Additionally, some of the mathematical techniques applied to circuit analysis are also applicable to the analysis of heat transfer problems, mechanical system dynamics, fluid flow in pipes and others

This module equips students with a comprehensive understanding of how mechanical systems move and deform when subjected to external forces. We then progress to advanced topics including buckling and deformation of mechanical structures such as beams and cantilevers.
The second part of the module covers materials response to applied electric and magnetic fields, e.g. polarisation and conduction in dielectrics, magnetisation and ferromagnetism. Materials for novel and emerging applications are considered as well, e.g. high-voltage cable insulations, electret materials, triboelectric series, piezo-electricity, ferro-electricity, pyroelectricity.
The module includes one laboratory analysis covering dielectric material characterisation and one laboratory experiments on deformation of beams. Students will be supported by examples and tutorial questions with many real-life practical examples.
