Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Taught material will contribute an element every week to the SAIL programme (Score As I Learn) submitted via the VLE platform. 11 x 15 minutes weekly assignments (quizzes). Each assignment (quiz) will be worth 3%. Taking the best 8 out of 11 scores.

Written Assignment

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

An automation design assignment leading to the generation of an individual technical report describing the system and its validation by either simulation or physical testing.

<p>This module will provide you with an understanding of the hardware and computer control systems used in modern manufacturing. You will consider how to define appropriate sensors and instruments to be able to automate a process safely and how to break an automation challenge into logical steps. This will develop your ability to automate any such processes through design and programming of PLC control systems. The workshop sessions will give you practical understanding of control systems used in machine tools, industrial robots, automated part handling, and inspection.</p>

Requirements apply to students taking an IET accredited course. Please refer to the Programme Specification Document for details.
