HND Building Services Engineering (Electrical Pathway)

On this specialist pathway, you will further develop your understanding of the principles of electrical installation and electrical theory. You will develop further your mathematical skills with the aim of being able to analyse and model civil engineering or building services engineering situations using mathematical techniques. Among the topics included in the unit are: number theory, complex numbers, matrix theory, linear equations, numerical integration, numerical differentiation, and graphical representations of curves for estimation in an engineering context. Students will expand their knowledge of calculus to discover how to model and solve problems using first and second order differential equations. You will learn about electrical distribution systems, cabling, lighting systems alongside building services automation, building system engineering, statutory regulations and health and safety. The rapidly growing range of services provided by BMS technology will be explored and its contribution to the renewable energy debate will be assessed. Students also have the opportunity to apply their research by carrying out the design of a BMS.
