Fire Engineering

You'll learn about fluid flow and how to apply these principles to flames, fires, and explosions. The module builds on the theory and practical themes introduced in level one. You'll further improve your qualitative understanding of combustion, fire, and explosion phenomena.

The module aims to develop your understanding of the impact of fires on the built environment, including building construction methods and materials used, smoke movement and control, law regulations and standards. It explores different types of fire behaviour with case studies of the impact of fires on buildings nationally and internationally.

This module will develop your awareness of accident and catastrophe phenomena and their impact on society. It will explore different types of technological accidents and catastrophes in the build world, as well as case studies illustrating the impact of fires on buildings. You'll build on your employability skills, including independent working, analysis, problem solving, presentations and group work.

In this module you will learn the key areas of health and safety in the workplace. You will be able to identify and control hazards.

The aim of this module is to focus on the role and responsibilities of the project manager, including leadership and organisation skills. You'll also develop your analytical, monitoring and controlling techniques.

This module will introduce you to using fire hazard analysis. You will gain the necessary skills in using specialist software to solve computational problems of fire engineering.

In this module you will build upon your previously learnt skills and provides you with the mathematical skills required for the final stage of your study. The module will teach you how to use infinite series, integral calculus, differential equations and matrix algebra in order to solve common engineering problems.

On this module you'll gain an understanding of enclosure fire and the dominant mechanisms in controlling them. It will explore the range of relationships, solutions and models used in the design of buildings for fire safety and investigations. You'll also build on your employability skills, including independent working, analysis, problem solving, presentations and working with others.

This module aims to develop your skills in numerical analyses. You will evaluate different appropriate fire protection applications.

This module will develop your ability to investigate a fire to meet the needs of officials. You will learn to recognize the scene, patterns, indicators, and dynamics of fire development. You will gain an insight into the fire setter's motives and characteristics. The module emphasises on the recovery and analysis of evidence and the conclusions that can be drawn from the analytical results. You will understand the investigation structure and management of mass fatality incidents as well as small premises.

You'll develop theoretical and practical themes of systems analysis and probability theory. The module aims to introduce probabilistic risk assessment and modelling in technical systems. You'll also gain independent working, analysis, modelling and problem-solving skills.

This module will develop your engineering design skills both as a team member and as an individual. You will develop your critical thinking, problem solving and key skills in case studies.

You'll carry out an independent study of theoretical, computational, experimental or investigative analysis, or a combination. By the end of this module, you will have enhanced your research, communication and evaluation skills.
