SEB121 Fundamentals of Technology Management
This unit consists of four modules: technology perspectives; communication skills; introduction to management concepts; and quality management concepts. The technology perspectives module deals with the history of technology, its relevance to society, ethics and the professional responsibilities of engineers and technologists. The communication skills module includes library research skills, written communication, graphical communication and oral presentation. The concepts and basic principles of management are taught in the management concepts module. The quality management module introduces the basic principles of quality, and relevance and importance of quality in organisations.

SED102 Introduction To Engineering Design and CAD
This module will introduce students to engineering design and its role in the product development process. The content of the unit is divided into two parts that will be studied concurrently. Part I is comprised of an Introduction to Creative Engineering Design, and, Part II is comprised of a Computer Aided Design. This unit provides an introduction to the engineering design process and how designs are presented as engineering drawings and sketches. Computer Aided Design will introduce students to 3D solid modelling.
Assessment: 100% assignments and team projects

SEE103 Electronics
This unit contains three modules: Digital Systems, Circuit theory and Electronic Devices. In digital systems, the discussion will begin with logic gates, Boolean algebra and logic theorems. They will then be used to study the operation of flip-flops, counters, and registers. Applications of digital devices will also be discussed. Circuit theory will cover the concepts of inductance, capacitor-inductor circuits, alternating-current circuits, and network theorems. The module on electronic devices will consider semiconductors, diodes, rectifiers, bipolar-junction transistors, op amps and their applications.

SEM111 Materials 1
The unit Materials 1 is divided into three modules: Introduction to Materials Science; Engineering Materials; and Introduction to Materials Selection. This unit includes the following topics: the basic structure of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding, atomic packing and crystal structure, testing, properties and applications of materials; introduction to materials selection; overview of metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.
Assessment: 40% assignments and case study, 60% final examination

SEP101 Physics 1A
The unit will commence with a calculus treatment of kinematics of motion in one, two and three dimensions, including parabolic motion. The application of Newton's laws to a wide variety of phenomena will be investigated and the concepts of work, energy and the conservation laws discussed. Rotational kinematics and dynamics will be introduced, including the concepts of moment of inertia and torque. The study of electricity will commence with a discussion of the concepts of electric charge, electric field and electric potential. A discussion of the concepts of capacitance, resistance, resistivity, current and EMF will lead on to circuit theorems and their applications to series, parallel and multi-loop circuits. The creation of magnetic fields by charges and currents will be described, and magnetic forces and their applications will be investigated.

SIT172 Programming For Engineers
On successful completion of this unit, students will have the ability to use a standard approach to program development, as well as understand the structure theorem and be aware of its consequences for algorithm design. They will have the ability to use structured programming techniques to produce modular solutions exhibiting good coupling and cohesion. They will be able to correct syntactic and semantic errors and include error handling in their software design. Students will have knowledge of fundamental programming skills, data manipulation, linked lists and the C programming language.

SIT199 Applied Algebra And Statistics
This unit includes: the algebra of complex numbers, matrices and sets; probability, and the major discrete and continuous probability distributions. The relationship between exponential functions, trigonometric functions and complex numbers is emphasised and applied to electrical networks. Solutions to systems of linear equations using matrices and determinants, and applications of set theory and symbolic logic are considered. The statistics techniques and examples studied are relevant to the sciences in general while particular reference is made in the lectures to applications in engineering.
