Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS)

On this module, you'll integrate computational models of aerospace vehicles and systems to create and enhance flight simulators. This is for the purposes of virtual testing and evaluation. 

This module covers the engineering of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), including principles, technologies, applications, and regulations. You'll get a holistic understanding of UAS technology, including configurations, advanced applications, and emerging trends. It provides a solid foundation in UAS systems and prepares you for careers in industries where unmanned aerial systems play a pivotal role.

This module is delivered off-site, near our Preston Campus at the Warton Enterprise Zone.

You'll develop skills and competence across a range of modelling and simulation methods. The module explains the underlying conceptual and mathematical foundations. As well as providing real engineering challenges.

In this module, you will develop the individual skills necessary to conduct a technical project at an advanced level effectively. You will explore project planning, presentation, research methodology and health and safety awareness.

The aim of this module is for you to undertake an advanced-level piece of work including some significant elements of research and originality. You'll specify, plan, execute and report a programme of work leading to the design of a system, service or product, incorporating aa range of aspects involving the study of current research or advanced developments.

You'll investigate how the principles of high-speed aerodynamics influences the flight dynamics of flexible aircraft during different phases of flight. 

On this module you'll investigate material selection, structural assembly and the associated challenges of material degradation. You'll assess how they impact aerospace vehicle’s structures. 

The aim of this module is to present a technical overview of the main aerospace engine types enabling you to calculate the performance in their respective applications.

The module introduces artificial intelligence concepts essential for understanding modern intelligent systems. You'll gain skills necessary to design, integrate, and use artificial intelligence systems and will also develop independent research skills.

In this module you will be introduced to Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. By the end of this module, you will develop an understanding of the seven main additive manufacturing methods.

This module covers designing bearings to reduce power loss. You'll assess and select materials to minimise friction and wear. Apply ISO standards for lubricant management and design condition-monitoring solutions for machines. You'll also conduct reliability and maintainability analyses for mechanical or electrical devices.

The aim of this module is to identify the relationships between structures and mechanical properties of engineering materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The module will provide a comprehensive understanding of a variety of material failure modes such as fast fracture, fatigue, creep, corrosion and oxidation.

This module introduces you to methods of computer interfacing of industrial or scientific instruments and data processing for monitoring and control of engineering processes. It provides an understanding of the use of advanced instrumentation and sensing methods and will consider the application of signal processing methods and system design methods.
