Curricular information is subject to change
Upon completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate a practical and analytical understanding of the principles of engineering measurement (i.e. temperature, pressure, flow, fluid rheology, particle size distribution) as applied to heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid flow and particulate processes;
2. Collate and meaningfully present/visualize engineering information and data;
3. Critically analyse engineering data and apply data science techniques (characterization of distributions, linear regression analysis, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing), by using EXCEL and/or SPSS, where appropriate;
4. Quantitatively estimate the uncertainty in experimentally determined quantities;
5. Effectively undertake independent study, on a discipline-related topic;
6. Describe and apply basic principles of Statistical Process Control.
