DT772 PG Certificate in Engineering Simulation & Modelling
Location:
DIT Bolton Street
Start date:
Week beginning September 19th 2011
Description:
This postgraduate-level programme is designed to provide key skills in the computer modelling and numerical simulation of engineering systems and structures, focusing on Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics, as well as other techniques such as finite difference methods, and simulation of continuous and discrete systems over time. An overview of the general computer aided design and engineering process is also provided.
It is suitable for graduates of a range of engineering streams including mechanical, manufacturing, civil, structural, building services, and other disciplines where the simulation of structural and fluid systems is required. Graduates in physics, materials science, chemical, electrical and electronic engineering are also eligible and will benefit from the programme.
Course Duration:
1 Year
Career opportunities:
This programme will provide graduates with advanced skills and understanding in a range of key technologies such as 3D modelling, finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. These technologies will increase the added value that these graduates will bring to design, consulting and research-oriented roles in the engineering sector. The manner in which these modules are presented will develop high levels of understanding and critical thinking in graduates of this course, and provide a basis for lifelong learning
Progression:
Further related level 9 programmes
Entry requirements:
For acceptance onto the programme an applicant must hold an honours degree, with a minimum attainment of second class honours grade 2, in a suitable branch of engineering, such as mechanical, manufacturing, structural or civil. Holders of degrees in related fields such as physics or materials science will also be considered. Holders of other awards will be considered for suitability on a case by case basis.
