Aims

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.

Outline Of Syllabus

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.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship

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.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
