Engineering Practice 2: Technical - AERO50004
Aims
Engineering practice involves more than the application of theory and utilising mathematics to solve problems. It requires engineers to have an awareness of practical, legal, ethical and manufacturing constraints, to be creative in proposing solutions to problems, and be able to communicate, collaborate, plan and manage their work. This module builds on you prior experience of Engineering Practice 1, requiring you to engage in multi-disciplinary design and optimisation work within constraints and subject to uncertainty.

Lecturer
Finite Elements S5 - AERO70010
Aims
This module offers an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of finite element methods, with application to solving real-life structural problems. Starting with the general formulation of finite element theory, the module proceeds with the formulation of 2D and 3D elements. Rods, beams and plate elements are developed rigorously. Modelling Strategies and potential pitfalls are discussed. You will be introduced to the use of finite-element software, emphasising common features found in most commercial packages and focusing on results interpretation.

Engineering Practice 2: Project Development - AERO50010
Aims
The planning and bidding for projects, as well as the review of project proposals, are a common activity practising engineers engage in, whether working in industry or academia. Through this module you will be introduced to the basic considerations involved in developing a project proposal, from understanding your customers and their needs, to planning and costing a project, and identifying and mitigating risks. Skills developed in this module will be utilised during subsequent project work.
