• Welcome to your

    Moodle

    Now, you are in control!

    Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that provides educators with the tools and features to create and manage online courses. It allows educators to organize course materials, create quizzes and assignments, host discussion forums, and track student progress. Moodle is highly flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different institutions and learning environments.

    Moodle supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, enabling educators to host live webinars, video conferences, and chat sessions, as well as providing a variety of tools that support self-paced learning, including videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums. The platform also integrates with other tools and systems, such as Google Apps and plagiarism detection software, to provide a seamless learning experience.

    Moodle is widely used in educational institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and corporate training programs. It is well-suited to online and blended learning environments and distance education programs. Additionally, Moodle's accessibility features make it a popular choice for learners with disabilities, ensuring that courses are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

    The Moodle community is an active group of users, developers, and educators who contribute to the platform's development and improvement. The community provides support, resources, and documentation for users, as well as a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Moodle releases regular updates and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

Available courses

Engineering Mechanics Lab 1

This course seeks to extend the knowledge gained in physical science within a mechanical engineering context. A variety of topics and concepts are applied, providing a self-contained core of skills vital to the multifaceted engineer of today. Through a range of statics experiments, the module provides a solid foundation for further studies in engineering. 

Applied Thermodynamics (MEE3018)

This module introduces the student to the basic information and analysis needed to practically apply thermodynamic principles, namely the first and second laws of thermodynamics, to various industrial equipment found in power and process plants for which thermal and heat considerations contribute significantly to their design and operation. These equipment include heat engines, refrigeration systems and heat exchangers (including boilers, condensers, ovens and chillers).  To support this knowledge, fundamentals of other topics such as combustion, heat transfer, and compressible flow are also presented.  Students will also be introduced to the technical language commonly used in industry associated with the design specifications of these equipment.

Fluid Mechanics (MEE3003)

This module focuses on how thermal energy (from combustion or otherwise) is 
converted to mechanical power by various power cycles. It also considers the effects 
of losses how devices and strategies can affect engine output and efficiency. The 
module initially considers thermodynamic property relations, postponed to this 
second thermodynamics module when students should have grasped necessary 
calculus concepts. 

Thermodynamics 2 (ENG3002)

This module focuses on how thermal energy (from combustion or otherwise) is 
converted to mechanical power by various power cycles. It also considers the effects 
of losses how devices and strategies can affect engine output and efficiency. The 
module initially considers thermodynamic property relations, postponed to this 
second thermodynamics module when students should have grasped necessary 
calculus concepts. 

Thermal Fluid Science Lab 2 (MEE3039)

This module is the second in the thermal fluids science sequence. In this module, students will continue to do laboratory experiments in the areas of heat transfer and thermodynamics, which facilitate the application of the relevant engineering concepts. The students will apply methods of data capture and analysis to a broad range of practical problems and systems while developing their reporting skills

Fluid Mechanics (ENG2001)

Fluid mechanics is the study of mechanics in which the fundamental principles of general mechanics (conservation of matter, the conservation of energy and Newton’s laws of motion) are applied to liquids and gases. In this course, students will learn various techniques required to solve realistic fluid flow problems in engineering systems. The emphasis will be placed on developing physical intuition for fluids and problem solving.

Fluid Power (MEE3017, EEI3007)

Building on the knowledge gained in the Fluid Mechanics course, this module seeks to extend that knowledge base in hydraulics and pneumatics. A range of topics and concepts are studied, including flow and power transmission, hydraulic machines, hydraulic technology, pneumatic technology and motion of fluids. Using an applications approach, theory and practice are integrated to develop the problem-solving skills fundamental to the fluid power profession.

Energy Management in Buildings and Industry (SEC5007)

The module addresses the principles of sustainable energy use in the buildings and industrial sectors. As the two sectors contributing most to emissions, a focus on mitigation technology options, practices and behavioral aspects will not only allow resolving mitigation barriers, but also provide additional benefits.
