Teeside HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering

[sumerz]

Have just got my Electrical and electronic principles to go and was wondering if anyone could help in any way. Many thanks

Which modules have have you complete we might be able to help each other out, I recently got a distinction in the electrical and electronic principles

 

[Danny1990]

Anybody else start the maths module at Teesside today open learning?

Hello mate,

Just seen this now! Yeah I have started the same time, how you finding it so far then?

not finding it too bad, have had to have some help on a few bits so far how about you?

Yeah its been alright so far, Im back off to work next week though for 6 weeks doing 12 hour shifts so we will see how much I can get done then haha. Where abouts are you upto? I am onto the last lesson of the Trigonometry but havnt done anything since last week

Im only on the 6th lesson of the algebra but I have been on 12 hour shifts and I'm struggling to take in the information after work, got fri to Monday off tho so hoping to finish it and get my assessment in last minute, was trying to do it at 4 or 5 in the morning and that was a waste of time. You should be ok if your on the last lesson of trigonometry

Ah man yeah that will be hard work trying to focus after shift. If you need a hand with anything give me a shout, it sounds like there is a few people just starting lesson 1 on the algebra over the last week

Hi all
After a long break I decided I had better get going again..
Completed Maths, Eng Science and pneumatics so far, now just about to start Electrical Machines.
Anybody here done Elec Machines?

Oh man, motivation is difficult when the sun is still shining once you get home from work..

thanks for the offer of help mate, hopefully I'll be ok, got 2 weeks off during the trigonometry so hoping not to get too far behind on that one

I am currently completing the electrical machines unit. I've got one TMA to complete but I've found the maths difficult. This is the first unit I've attempted through Tees Uni. I've already got 4 units from about 10 years ago when I started the HNC through a local college which I've APL'd across to Tees. I remember the assignments being easier from 10 years ago making me wish I had completed it back then, but circumstances made it difficult. Good luck with the unit, let me know if I can give you any help. I'm trying to decide which unit to do next, just got project to complete from the core ones and two more elective.

 

[sparky222]

Hi all, just completing electrical machines unit, the maths was hard. Anyone got any advice as to next possible units? I need to do project and another 2 elective units. I've already completed PLC's.

Hi Sparky
Your inbox is full.
Tried to send u a message but it failed.
I have completed pneumatics if that helps you.

Cheers

 

[Davey1988]

i am current undertaking the maths assesments, finding it kinda hard lol

 

[sparky222]

Just finished the last TMA for electrical machines. What is the process when you finish a unit? Do you need to do some sort of interview with the unit tutor?

Hi Sparky222

The way it has gone with myself is a short telephone conversation with the tutor, generally a week or two after the TMA has been marked.
The tutor will get hold of you or leave a note with the assessment feedback.

Hi guys,

Just finished the hydraulics & pneumatics unit. I found it much easier than electrical machines unit, the tma's were mainly research and diagrams not much maths which was good for me. Think I'm going to have a go at engineering applications next before finishing with project. Hope everyone is going OK, if you need any help with electrical machines or hydraulics/pneumatics just send me a message.

 

[WeeChumlee]

Hi Sparky222
Just doing TMA2 of elec machines. Q4 has me a bit boggled. Could do with a tip if you could.
Sorry, have not done eng. apps so can't reciprocate I'm afraid.
Cheers

Hi all, I started my hnc in May this year and I'm on with the foundation maths bit, TMA2 I'm stuck on one of the questions about finding angles in a triangle, I've got all the sides and one angle but I'm struggling to get the numbers to add up for the others, what formulas have you guys used?

 

[Lagentium]

Thanks for everyone contributing to this thread, I've just read it all and it's nice to see different opinions and points of view. After getting the HNC what are people hoping to move into job wise? I'm an approved electrician and wondering what job I may be able to move into after hopefully completing the HNC and maybe the HND, because I've done things in the past where I've had the blinkers on and just focused on finishing the course and not thought about what to do after, any ideas gents??

Regards, James

Hi im hoping to start on the 8th February 2016 if i need to do the bridging course will i start it now or on the course start date???

 

[Imranzz]

Hi did you complete pnumatics and hydraulics module. I really need help on TMA 1 Q3 Q4 Q5 and would appricate you help.
Thank you

Hello mate,

You start with the bridging module on the start date if you do it, I have just finished it and started Analytical methods for engineers. Bit of a jump in the maths from the bridging module though.

[lewis hope]

Just been accepted into the course . Can't wait to get started in Feb .

 

[paulnev76]

I've just been accepted on the course

Hi,
I have just started the Engineering science and with me being from an electrical background it all looks a bit alien. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

[sparky2705]

Hi,
Started the HNC Electrical/Electronic engineering via distance learning with Teesside uni, completed the maths bridging course and I'm currently on with Analytical Methods for Engineers TMA1 & TMA2.
Any help with the TMAs would be greatly appreciated and I can offer help with the maths bridging course if needed.
Currently struggling with time management, long hours at work and two little ones at home don't help.Thanks in advance.

Mark.

 

[sparky2705]

Hi,
How are you finding the AME modules, I've just started them and finding the maths a massive step up from the bridging course.
Any info would be greatly appreciated (just started TMA 1 and TMA2) and vice versa if I can help with anything let me know.

Mark.

 

[sumerz]

Does anyone fancy swapping the plc assignments? Losing the will to live with it at the moment! Ive completed all the 4 core units, d and a electronics, safety engineering and engineering applications

 

[sparkymalarky]

Alright lads, just thought I would post in here saying as I started the thread waaaayyyy back! There is light at the end of the tunnel! HNC completed! [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

 

[Richard Burns]

Well done, certainly the thread got a lot of attention over time.
Seems it took slightly more than the planned 18 months!
But a good thing to have completed you must be very pleased.
A mega achievement.:chillpill::cheesy::clap:

Hello,

I am currently considering starting this course too starting this May (2016) through open learning. I am currently electrician trained in the Army and I'm planning ahead really, so wondering how people got on with this course and whether it is a worthwhile course to have under your belt?

What sort of doors does this course open up for you? Also for anyone that has done this open learning style how did they find it?

I am willing to put alot of effort into this and smash it as quick as I can, I enjoy being in education although can't say I am the brightest when it comes to Mathematics
