| Module Description: |
This module develops the skills required to research, develop, manage and design a solution for an electrical installation project. It develops the student's ability to search for information, communicate with peers/supervisor, develop a solution which meets the required technical, environmental, ethical and safety standards and prepare for a career in an engineering environment. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Interpret technical reports and memos in the development of a proposal for an Electrical Services Installation specification. |
| LO2 |
Exercise a structured approach to planning and organising an Electrical Services Installation project proposal with due regard for ethical, environmental and safety considerations. |
| LO3 |
Specify electrical distribution equipment, lighting, metering, data and voice networks and identify possible renewable energy sources |
| LO4 |
Use appropriate design tools and techniques to analyse, revise and test the project solution |
| LO5 |
Maintain a logbook during project development and communicate project plans and project outputs to peers and engineering staff using standard aids |

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
