Engineering Technology (BTech)
Course Code: B1052
The approach of the technologist is, wherever possible, to use and adapt 'off the shelf' building blocks and components to create and/or modify the required software and/or hardware. In this degree students are free to choose from a range of units; however, there are four key areas of study:
Industrial Computer Systems: concerned with the specification, design, implementation and commissioning of industrial control systems. It is a combination of both computer hardware and software to meet the requirements of the industrial measurement and control application.
Instrumentation and Control: concerned with instrumentation installation, specification, systems monitoring and operational control of a wide range of manufacturing and process oriented industries.
Electrical Power: associated with power system elements including power generators, transmission and distribution system components as well as power system analysis, operation and control.
Renewable Energy Systems: concerned with the study and use of renewable energy technologies and energy sources with an emphasis on electrical generation.
