Technology
No. of hours per week: four hours for one
semester
Assessment: examinations and assignments
Subject aims and description
The subject is taken in conjunction with MM272
(Manufacturing Practices) and also compliments the subject
MM270 taken by all manufacturing and mechanical
engineering students.
As such, it expands upon the fundamentals of those subjects
to provide the manufacturing engineering student with both a
wider and more rigourous treatment of a range of
manufacturing technologies. In addition, students are
introduced to conceDts and techniaues associated with
engineering dimensional metrology which serve as a bridge
between the technologies and quality in manufacture.

Professional Computing
No. of hours per week: one hour for two
semesters
Prerequisite: standard first year introductory course
EE188 or a course equivalent to the computing
component of EE188
Assessment: test and assignment
Subject aims and description
This subject aims to teach the development of structured
programs using the Quick Basic language. The structure and
function of the DOS system software such as operating
systems, compilers etc. are discussed as examples. FORTRAN,
Mathcad' and spreadsheets are introduced for the solution of
engineering problems.
Building on the Quick Basic programming taken in the first year
the students will gain programming experience in both Quick
Basic and FORTRAN 77. The problems given will be relevant to
the students specialising in chemical, production or mechanical
engineering fields.
Topics: data structures and algorithms, and structured
programming using Quick Basic language.
Overview of and introduction to FORTRAN 77 programming.
