Synopsis Of Year 2 Modules

EGC201
Engineering Mathematics 2A
[60 hours]
This module is an extension of first year Engineering Maths, and is designed to equip students with an adequate knowledge of engineering mathematics to solve engineering problems encountered in the course and in their future work. The emphasis of the topics is on applications and problem solving. Topics include partial differentiation, first and second order differential equations, Laplace transform and their applications.

EGC209
Thermofluids
[60 hours]
This module introduces the fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Topics for thermodynamics and heat transfer include properties of pure substances and ideal gases, laws of thermodynamics and processes of heat transfer. Topics for fluid mechanics include properties of fluids, concepts and basic equations of fluid statics and fluid flow. Laboratory experiments will be used to reinforce the basic concepts.

EGC210
Robotics Systems & Peripherals
[60 hours]
Equips students with a sound knowledge of integrated robotic technology that provides dexterous motions required of work in flexible automation. A design/prototyping assignment to integrate robotics technology will be conducted.

EGC205
Manufacturing Information System
[60 hours]
This module offers students the fundamental concepts of manufacturing information systems in production planning and control. They also gain knowledge in using various established tools and techniques, and computer-based manufacturing systems to perform production planning and control activities in a manufacturing enterprise. Topics covered include Material Requirement Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II).

EGC203
Engineering Mechanics 2
[60 hours]
This module builds on the foundation of Engineering Mechanics 1 and covers more practical and complex mechanical analysis. It also aims to provide the students with the various concepts of solid mechanics and dynamic behaviour of physical body in motion. Students should be able to appreciate, analyse and utilise their knowledge to solve real-life problems related to engineering applications upon completion of this module.

EGC206
Semestral Project 3
[30 hours]
Structured along the same approach for the Semestral Project series, this module aims to explore and develop students’ abilities in applying techniques/skills and knowledge to fulfil a particular problem. Specialised themes shall be given where students are expected to complete and present their solutions using Information Technology.

EGC207
Engineering Mathematics 2C
[60 hours]
This is a continuation of Engineering Mathematics 1. Topics covered include Fourier Series, permutation, combination, probability and probability distributions.

EGC202
Automatic Control
[60 hours]
This module equips students with the knowledge of pneumatics and electro-pneumatic control, sensors, programmable logic controller and their applications. The designing of ladder diagrams for combinational and sequential logic control is also covered.

EGC211
Computer-Aided-Manufacturing/ Engineering
[60 hours]
This module introduces Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software applications. Students will be taught manual CNC part programming, and the generation of tool paths for complex geometries using a CAM software package.

EGC208
Mechanical Design
[60 hours]
This module introduces students to the fundamental concepts of mechanical design and the design of machine elements. Students gain the necessary knowledge for a basic mechanical system design.

EGC204
Metrology & Quality Control
[60 hours]
This module introduces students to the fundamental principles for planning and management of total quality control, from design, development and manufacturing to customer support. Topics such as quality assurance, quality systems, quality audit, procurement, economics of quality, product reliability and acceptance sampling will be covered. It also provides students with hands-on practice on precision measuring tools with statistical process control capabilities.

EGC212
Semestral Project 4
[30 hours]
Structured along the same approach for the Semestral Project series, this module aims to explore and develop students’ abilities in applying techniques/ skills and knowledge to fulfill a particular problem. Specialised themes shall be given where students are expected to complete and present their solutions using the technologies learnt.
