| Description:
| Aims: To communicate standard formats for the written and graphical presentation of experimental data. To introduce uncertainty in experimental measurements. To provide an appreciation of practical engineering skills. To introduce students to computer aided design, the use of word processors, spreadsheets, databases and the world wide web. To integrate engineering science and applications within the different engineering disciplines. To offer an insight into challenging and interesting topics within engineering. To introduce students to Health and Safety Practices in Engineering To provide an appreciation of Engineering Ethics To introduce students to the library and careers services To introduce students to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Learning Outcomes: After successful completion of this unit the student will be able to: * Interpret and communicate experimental results with analysis in a precise format. * Recognise and model potential observed uncertainty in engineering problems. * Carry out simple design tasks using CAD. * Search for information in online databases and the web. * Apply engineering science to engineering problems. * Appreciate the relevance of engineering science in the context of their application to engineering. * Understand the focus of the different branches of engineering and their interrelationships. * Follow Health and Safety Procedures * Understand the issues relating to Engineering Ethics * Understand the role of the professional bodies in engineering. Skills: Written communication; oral communication; data acquisition, handling and analysis; working independently; working as part of a group. Content: Interpretation and communication of experimental results and analysis. Experimental and measurement techniques. Uncertainty in engineering problems. Workshop skills.
