Overview

This unit of study aims to cover the skills and knowledge required to analyse and perform predictive analytics using multi-disciplinary engineering simulation techniques. The student will learn to research and use emerging technologies including 1D simulation, 3D computer-aided engineering (CAE) to analyse, design and manufacture a product using an engineering system.

Learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

  • Apply mathematics to perform predictive engineering analysis
  • Apply the principles of physics to analyse functional performance of engineering components and subsystems
  • Design, manufacture and test an engineering system, using 1D Simulation and 3D Computer-aided Engineering (CAE) techniques
  • Research common failures of engineering components and develop a systematic approach to monitoring an engineering system as a group.
