The module aims to provide the theoretical and practical background in the use of fuels via a physico-chemical approach to combustion and to present the technological aspects relative to fuel combustion.
The module is offered during the second semester to year 2 students of the Energy Engineering Programme.
The aim of the module is to:
The course aims to provide fundamental concepts of turbo-machines as applied to Engineering practice.
It covers application to hydraulic machines, specific speed and machine selection, machine-system operation, application to axial flow compressors and turbines and radial turbines and compressors.
Engineering Project Management module is intended to help students understand the nature of Projects and the technicalities involved in handling projects and managing the various phases of the project life cycle. The module explores the project management functions that are carried out at the different stages of a project’s life cycle and the analytical tools applied thereof.
General Objectives.
By the end of the Industrial attachment period, the student is able to:
- Understand the constraints of working life and functional relationships within and between organizations
- Appreciate the importance of human relations and work attitudes
- Develop procedural knowledge towards work processes
- Apply theoretical concepts and school based skills to practice
- Develop work attitudes like curiosity, self-confidence, maturity and self reliance
- Obtain knowledge of potential careers and develop new areas of interest
Entrepreneurship is a specialized business course designed to provide you the skills needed to effectively organize, develop, create, and manage their own business. This course provides an introduction to the knowledge and skills needed to be an entrepreneur, especially the identification, evaluation and exploitation of opportunities in mechanical and energy engineering. It helps to prepare a ground where you view entrepreneurship as a desirable and feasible career option. In particular it seeks to build the necessary competencies and motivation for a career in entrepreneurship.
The course aims to provide the analysis of Vibration phenomena in Mechanical systems. The course provides mathematical relationships between the stiffness of a mechanical construction system and the frequency of the system. The course highlights the major area of advantages as well as the disadvantages of vibrations in mechanical engineering.
Indicative Content
