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
Only available to second year students on U6UEEENG, U7UEEENG, U6UELENG, U7UELENGM, U6UETENG, U7UETENG, or their derivatives.
Co-requisites
Modules you must take in the same academic year, or have taken in a previous year, to enrol in this module:
Classes
- One 2-hour lecture each week for 8 weeks
- Four 7-hour laboratorys each week for 3 weeks
- One 4-hour laboratory each week for 3 weeks
Assessment
- 10% Report: Group design report
- 40% In-class Exam (Practical): A 1-on-1 demonstration of the final system to a member of staff, student to explain their contribution to the work
- 40% Viva Voce: A 1-on-1 technical interview, student to answer questions related to the project
- 10% Assignment: PCB design
Assessed by end of spring semester
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.
LO2 Design a PCB for power electronics.
LO3 Design and Simulate power electronic circuits.
LO4 Design and Construct magnetic components.
LO5 Demonstrate use of advanced test equipment.
LO6 Explain project operation in an interview-like setting.
LO7 Elaborate on system operation in a technical viva.
LO8 Justify system design choices.
