This is a continuation of Engineering Mathematics 1. Topics covered include Fourier series, transformations, probability, and statistics.

EG2110
Semestral Project 3 [45 hours]
This module enables students to develop their design skills. Students are expected to synthesize various machine elements and standard mechanical components to design a series of module projects using computer aided drafting software. Students will be given opportunities to propose and build creative mechatronic projects under the close supervision of lecturers to reinforce independent learning and encourage creativity in problem solving.

EG2111
Semestral Project 4 [45 hours]
This module enables students to develop their skills in micro-controller programming and applications in a mechatronics environment. Students will learn to interface various input and output devices to the micro-contoller through a series of pratical exercises. Using the C Language that they have learnt earlier, students will develop programmes to drive external devices such as motors, LEDs and sensors. effective use of technology to troublshoot and innovate is emphasised.

EG2126
Mechanical Design [90 hours]
This module introduces students to the fundamental concepts and considerations of mechanical design. It provides them with the necessary knowledge that is pertinent to basic mechanical system design. The students will be tasked to design simple mechanical systems using suitably designed/selected machine elements and engineering components from commercial catalogues. The topics covered include engineering design process, stress analysis, beam deflection, design for static strength, design for fatigue strength, jig and fixture design, cams, and selection and application of machine elements.

EG2127
Thermofluids [60 hours]
The module aims to introduce the fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. In the topics of thermodynamics and heat transfer, the properties of pure substances and ideal gases, laws of thermodynamics and processes of heat transfer are introduced. In the topics of fluid mechanics, the properties of fluids, the concepts and basic equations of fluid static and fluid flow are covered.

EG2128
Device Interface & Programming [75 hours]
This module provides students with a basic knowledge os Device I/O Interfacing and Communications. Structured C programming is used to illustrate the requirements for inter-device communications. Topics iclude Signals Conditioning, Structured Programming, Program Debugging and Testing, Program Documentation and Maintenance as well as Basic data Communications Principles.

EG2129
Machine Elements & System Peripherals [60 hours]
This pratical-oriented module exposes students to various types of commonly used machine elements and system peripherals for automated assembly systems. Upon completion of the module, students should be able to handle basic tools used in assembling parts and also understand the working principles of the common system peripherals used in automated assembly systems.

EG2132
Micro-Controller Applications [75 hours]
This module introduces the application, design and development process for an embedded microcontroller system. Students will learn to develop micro-controller programming are I/O programming, peripherals programming and interrupt handling. Case studies will be used to illustrate the fundamental building blocks of a micro-controller system and how they are inter-related.

EG2133
Electrical Machines [90 hours]
This module provide students with essential knowledge of direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) electical machines: machine charateristics, performance features, control and protection circuits. Major topics include electro-mechanical principles, rotating machines, transfomer, DC motor, AC motors (1-phase and 3-phase). The use of control ad protection circuits for different motor applications will be emphasised in laboratory praticals. Charateristic and operating principles of Stepper and DC Servo motor ill also be introduced.
