On completion of this unit, students will have the skills, knowledge and good understanding of navigational charts and relevant publications including information sources regarding the principles of passage planning. Students will acquire the skills to plan and conduct a safe navigational passage, taking into account tidal calculations for different locations on the planned route. They will be...

Today's modern integrated technology is built on ICT systems that run in a range of contexts (e.g. Servers, PCs, mobile computing, robotics) using a range of technological solutions. Students will examine a range of different devices used to build ICT infrastructure. By exploring computing devices students will gain a fundamental understanding of the similarities and differences in modern...

The aim of this unit is to provide students with expertise in the design and analysis of power electronic circuits for a variety of practical applications. The unit covers a wide range of power electronic switching devices and converter circuits which are used in many industrial applications such as variable speed motor drives, wind power generation, solar power generation, electric vehicles,...

KYA321 Quantum Mechanics provides a rigorous introduction to the theory that underpins the modern understanding of matter and radiation. We start from the semi-classical understanding of the blackbody spectrum of light and the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and build toward the modern quantum theory with a focus on the central role played by angular momentum. We strongly emphasise the...

This unit provides theoretical and practical training in scientific diving, focusing on both safe diving procedures in the conduct of science underwater and a range of scientific techniques used commonly by scientific divers. Emphasis will be given to the planning and management of scientific diving to maximise both dive safety and scientific return per unit dive time. Students will gain...

The unit introduces the fundamental concepts of modern electronics based on semiconductor devices. On completion of this unit you will be able to design amplifier circuits with feedback. Beginning with the basic atomic structure of doped silicon substrates, diode construction, operations and characteristic curves are introduced, leading to DC and AC analysis. This is expanded to quiescent point...

This unit provides a broad appreciation of the nature and importance of logistics activities and an understanding of the key concepts and tools used by logistics managers. The unit enables an examination of the key components of an integrated logistics system, such as inventory management and transport, whilst viewing the system holistically. Central to an integrated logistics system is the...

The unit teaches contemporary business logistics concepts by exploring the intersection of supply chains, logistics and information technology. At the start, students are introduced to fundamental logistical functions including transportation, warehousing and inventory management. Building on this understanding, students are then introduced to advanced topics in integration, traceability,...

On completion of this unit, a student will be able to handle large power-driven vessels safely on passage and in and out of port under normal and extreme conditions and in emergencies. The unit incorporates the study and understanding of a vessel's behaviour under varying circumstances and hydrodynamic influences. The student further undergoes training on an approved ship simulator in performing...
