Aims
To provide students with an appraisal of how electrical and electronic systems are used in the marine environment.
Outline Of Syllabus
The students will be introduced to electrical machines and to power electronic systems and will develop an understanding of how electrical equipment can be integrated to form a reliable and safe distribution system within the marine environment.
The lecture material will cover:
The need for marine electrical engineering systems
Electrical machines in the marine environment
Power electronic systems
Power system distribution and its protection Sensing,

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and appraisal of the subject by independent reading for which they are given guidance in the distance learning material (IKO1 - 4). The preschool study is reinforced via lectures during the intensive school itself. The use of design during the intensive school and work-based assessments and application after the intensive school also enable the students to learn. Subject specific skills (e.g. IT and project planning) are developed via the distance learning material, which is delivered by a VLE. Cognitive skills (problem solving/ decision making) are taught primarily through case studies and design classes, and developed through work based assignments. Key transferable skills (communication, time management, ability to work alone etc) are developed through the work based pre-school assignment and via completion of the module itself, including the distance learning material (ISO1 -12).
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Learning is assessed via written assignments (IKO 1-4). Subject-specific and cognitive skills are assessed via design exercises and the module assignments, as are communication skills (ISO 1-12).
