Brief Description
Continuous Learning
Focus
The course requires students to study, analyse and experimentation
High
on many electrical devices and equipments and their integration with
mechanical engineering problems. Therefore, successful learning in
this course requires students to remember and understand many
multidisciplinary engineering theories, concepts and mathematical
formulas. This will provide a skill which will support, motivate and
inform their future learning endeavors as engineers and enrollment in
further higher degrees in engineering.
Self Reliance
Online course material will be available to the students which will
High
support self-learning. This will also encourage the students to take
initiative in searching for new knowledge and integrate this knowledge
in other engineering fields.
Engaged Citizenship
Social Responsibility
The practical exercise in this course will be conducted in groups. This
Medium
requires students to be committed to their individual responsibility in a
group work and will train them to be successful in collaborative work.
The course will require ethical, moral and professional conduct which
will be pointed out to students, particularly plagiarism.
