To develop the Mechanical and Marine Engineering students' understanding of electrical and electronic systems through structured lectures, tutorial exercises and laboratory experiments. The module will be assessed by examination and laboratory report.
Digital electronics: Binary representation of information, binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, logic gates, truth tables, combinational logic circuits, arithmetic circuits, Karnaugh maps, synchronous sequential logic circuits, D latch and D flip-flop, registers, design of finite-state machines.
Electrical Engineering: Principles of AC circuits. Basic polyphase arrangements. AC drives. Production of a rotating magnetic field. Characteristics, frequency, pole number and synchronous speed. Per-unit systems. Polyphase synchronous machine. Basic operation, steady-state operation, magnetic field interaction, equivalent circuit. Characteristics using equivalent circuit. Phasor diagram, calculations. Polyphase induction machines. Basic characteristics, steady-state operation, equivalent circuit. Per-unit slip. Reduction of equivalent circuit for output calculations. Calculation of behaviour using equivalent circuit. Starting characteristics, star-delta connections.
To give the student an understanding of electrical and electronic systems which are applicable to their future engineering study and careers in Marine and Mechanical engineering.
The students acquire knowledge in following topics: Binary representation of a decimal number and binary arithmetic; Operation of logic gates; Operation of combinational logic circuits and minimisation of combinational logic functions; Operation of synchronous sequential logic circuits; Principles of AC circuits; Operation of AC drives; Characteristics of AC machines and drives.
Analysis and understanding of electrical and electronic systems
The students acquire skills to apply the knowledge of combinational and sequential logic to design basic arithmetic functions, simple combinational logic circuits and finite state machines. The students become familiar with the main characteristics of AC circuits, AC machines and drives, and acquire skills to simplify the complicated calculations.

The module is delivered by non-synchronous pre-recorded lecture materials, along with synchronous live revision/tutorial sessions and live practical demonstration. The lectures and tutorials are presented in a way to be relevant to mechanical and marine engineers and closely link in with the practical experiments.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
