Teeside HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Nice one, thanks. I completed year 1 of an HNC in electronic and electrical engineering at day release in 2010, so once this module is out of the way i can get on with stuff that i can choose. I have already passed analytical methods, electrical principles and digital and analogue circuits so if you guys need help when you get to them give me a shout, obviously the questions will be different but i'll do my best, i hated calculus though!
 
Hi all. Just started TMA 1. Managed to get through my Maths bridging module previously. Although the Maths is not my strongest point. I think I've cracked Q1 and starting on Q2. Hopefully I'll be able to join in conversation and assist people later as I catch up on modules.
 
Well men how are you all getting on now? Havn't been using this thread enough methinks!

Anyway, I just started looking at DC circuits lesson 1, gets a wee bit trickier towards the end! Any of you near this stage as well?
 
I'm afraid not, still finishing the exam for TMA2. I did cover a lot of AC and DC in my electrical principles module, let me know if i can help
 
Hi there, i am new here so i will introduce first.
I am studying HNC in electrical and electronic engineering as a part time at College through teeside university, I started in 2011 but i had have to suspend studies for work, then they safe my marks and i will restart this year. They are compress lectures then you have to study by yourself. I have some good files for everything if anyone need. :dizzy2:
 
Hi Sparkymalarky, thanks!
I have done my first term in Dc theory for Science and started Ac theory, Statistics for math and algebra, first assessment for electronics with my design of PSU with proteus and started Op Amp, first assessment for PLCs and Mitsubishi FX - Series PLC Trainer (FX-TRN-BEG-E) very good for programming and an extra module HND of engineering design first assessment where i have designed an electronic toy and learn to draw with CAD.
 
Sparkymalarky these are some of mine for:

Both really good books for the HNC!
 
I did bridging module. 4TMA's. some of it quite heavy. Luckily had guys at work who had recently completed HNC/HND. Depending on your level 1-3months
 
I have a wee Question. In ENS- TMA2 Q2c is the tension in the rope at rest or falling?
ie T=mg or T= mg-ma

Im not sure if the acceleration of the mass in taken into account
 
Hi mate, i used T=m(a-g) to give a -ve figure against gravity. I still haven't submitted this TMA yet so i dont know if it's right, sparkymalarky may know.
 
Ive been in touch by email when a TMA that i submitted didnt get marked. I got his email address of the website. I assume that its through email that you would arrange a phone consultation
 
Thankfully I have finished the first two TMA's and I have now just started TMA3 but unfortunately Q2('pot' slider position) has me stumped. Can anyone throw me a light on this one?? I can only assume this needs to be solved as a quadratic equation. Thanks chaps:)

Click to expand...

Mate, stumped on this one as well, I have the whole TMA3 finished bar this question, you got any ideas yet?
 
I'm okay thanks mate, it's more finding the time at the moment rather than anything else. Do you do all the booklets or do you just work through the TMA's?
 
Hi guys,

just looking through this thread and its very interesting. I'm looking to enter and complete a higher level electrical engineering course. This one in Teesside stands out as it is completely online. This is the only way that suits me as I work away in The Oil & Gas industry and I'm only home every 8 weeks on rotation.

if you guys doing this course could give me their opinion on it I'd be very grateful. I'd like to know how you find the course and is it beneficial?. What's the content like and is it very difficult to study by yourself?

Im an electrician by trade and also have an odd on certificate in instrumentation and process control. I'm from Ireland and qualified there but unfortunately there's no online electrical engineering courses offered in Ireland. I did start my degree in Mechatronics this year but had to be home on various dates for lab days and just didn't suit my rotation for a finish.

any replies will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance guys.

shane.
 
Shane,

you should be fine with this course, with working offshore it sounds like you will have a good amount of time to work through the books and TMA's assuming you can motivate yourself. The modules are only worth 15 credits instead of 20 which i have previously studied. The level is quite a spread, for example DC theory starts at the ohms law level and goes right up through but you can skip these sections and go straight to the self assessment questions just to prove that you are okay with everything in that particular booklet. The tutors are on the end of e-mails/phone if you struggle but i haven't had to use that facility yet and i'm no genius:bucktooth:.

There are some modules which are mandatory, this means that you may not be thrilled with the subject matter i.e. mechanical side of engineering science. I'm an EC&I tech in the power industry and once i've completed engineering science i can get onto my picks i.e.DCS, PLC's etc..

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Sm75k,

Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it.. Couple more questions for you if you don't mind. The bulk of the modules look interesting enough, but like most people the maths I wouldn't say concern me, as a lot of it will probably come back, but is it very hard get motivated to actually learn it yourself from a book.?? I can see that being the biggest challenge for me or how did you find it?

Also what I'd like to get from the course is get more in depth with MV & HV. Does the course offer this scope. i.e. transformers, switchgear, learning about fault calcs, relay setting etc. I see a lot of the modules are more so electronics based?

Again thanks for your time. Cheers,

Shane.
 
Shane, i find i go in peaks and troughs with studying, sometimes i'm really in the zone and get loads done other times i can go a couple of weeks without even looking at. It is always in the back of your mind though.

I haven't done the later modules yet, i will be selecting more C&I based modules but my mate at work is going down the heavy "L" route with HV and switchgear. I would suggest just phoning up and speaking to the course co-ordinator, i'm sure he will be able to answer your questions better than me

Hello there.

Can you guys possibly point me in the direction of some help with the maths bridging modules for this course. I am struggling with the calculus module (TMA3). I know this is off topic or maybe there is a topic I have overlooked for the bridging modules. Thanks guys.
 
Hi guys, just read through this whole thread as
I've been looking for a distance learning course and after looking on their web site I think I've found the one! Does anyone know the exact cost of this course?

Cheers!
 
Hi All,

I'm new to the forum having come about it through searching on Google.

I am currently doing my HND through teeside university having already completed my HNC through day release.

I see that from most people you are working on engineering science, but are people working on other modules?
 
Hi Gents hope you are all well,

I have a question regarding TMA 4 Q1 iv) Looking for Z

I have I=P/Vs(PF) and transpose for I to get 4.34A
Then to find Z Z=Vs/I which gives 27.65ohm
When I put this back into (PF)=R/Z to confirm i dont get the right answer


Any help would be great
 
hi mate,

i'm still on TMA 3, been working loads but i have done electrical principles module before which covered all of this, i will have a look later and see if i can offer any help.
