Brief description of the Unit

Within all engineering disciplines there are core concepts that underpin our knowledge as practising engineers. This unit will introduce students to the principles of engineering that are used by engineers to analyse fluids, heat and temperature, electrical and electronic systems, areas that are of crucial importance in the 21st century. The unit will introduce you to the fundamental concepts needed to analyse these topics that will support your learning in later years of your programme of study so that at the end of the unit you will have a fundamental understanding that will allow you to design and analyse simple systems.
