The course, Electrical Machines 214, introduces students to the fundamentals of electrical machines, i.e., the construction, operation and applications of electrical machines.

The course aims at equipping the students with the necessary skills required to carry out the basic analysis of electrical machines and electrical machine systems. The course also provides the necessary theory of electro-mechanical energy conversion principles required to understand the construction, operation and control of electrical machines and machine systems.

This course forms the core of the Programme of Emergency Medical Care together with Clinical Practice.  The course is divided into theory and practicum components. The practicum comprises Simulated Patient Assessment and Management & Simulated Clinical Skills and Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE).  This course will provide you with the necessary learning resources to acquire the knowledge, practical skills, and critical thinking relating to the pre-hospital emergency medical care of patients.  At this level, you are introduced to special population patients and more invasive medical and trauma concepts laying the foundations for further learning in the coming years of study.

This course aims to set a foundation for the entire MSES programme by providing conceptual and practical knowledge on both renewable and non-renewable energy systems for exploitation through appropriate technologies. Starting from a discussion of the importance of energy and the fundamentals of energy sources (renewable and non-renewable), the course explores different types of energy systems, with emphasis on renewable energy in the electricity supply industry, culminating in concepts of demand-side management and energy efficiency.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful completion of the course, students will, through assessment activities, show evidence of their ability to:

· Describe relationships between Energy Systems and the Sustainable Development Goals

·  Discuss the fundamental features of energy sources (both renewable and non-renewable) and their associated environmental impacts.

·  Describe the Namibian electrical power system and the role of renewable energy technologies in resolving the World Energy Council’s energy trilemma.

·    Assessment techniques for renewable energy resources.

· Explain the concepts of power system demand-side management and energy efficiency

•     Perform design calculations for selected renewable energy systems.

This is Engineering Mathematics 1 for the first year Bachelor of Technology in Engineering.
