<p>This course is designed to act as a mechanism to demonstrate how the theory developed within your first year courses can be used to simulate engineering systems. In this course you will usea range of mathematical and computer based formulations to represent the physical systems and predict the response of the system to changing inputs. The approach used in this course will expose you to the methods used by engineers in the real world to understand physical systems, predict their performance and ensure that they are safe.</p>

<p>There are many modelling techniques that can be used to describe the characteristics of a system. In this course you will learn to represent the mathematical models developed in other courses within a computer program so that for a range of conditions you can explore how the system is likely to behave. This sort of analysis is used by engineers on a daily basis so being able to implement engineering models in a computer and plot graphs of what will happen in certain conditions is a powerful tool in the engineers arsenal. In the course case studies and engineering software applications will be used to illustrate a variety of different modelling techniques that you can utilise to predict the behaviour of common industrial and engineering systems including: mechatronics, mechanical, electrical, civil, environmental, fluid, magnetic, thermal or transport.<br>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
