This course is Scotland's first part time course providing accelerated training for those working in or wishing to work in the conventional or renewable Power Generation industry. it is designed to meet industrial demand for qualified staff in this area and is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. It is particularly relevant for graduates wishing to work in the Power Generation industry and the businesses that support it, or for employees already working in this field. With input from across the engineering disciplines and significant industrial contribution, this course provides students with in-depth training of how conventional, renewable and nuclear Power Plants operate. Teaching combines academic and industrial lectures, with on-site visits to industry and seminars presented by visiting experts from the UK and overseas. Technical classes provide an overview of Power Plant operations and in-depth knowledge of Power Plant functions, maintenance and optimisation. INSTRUCTIONAL MODULES (TECHNICAL) Select 7 from 8 ? Power Plant Systems ? Electrical Power Systems ? Energy Resources and Policy ? Advanced Boiler Technologies I ? Advanced Boiler Technologies II ? Environmental Performance and Related Technologies ? Materials for Power Plant ? Nuclear Power Systems INSTRUCTIONAL MODULES (GENERIC) Select 3 from 6: ? Design Management ? Project Management ? Environmental Impact and Sustainability ?
