Unit Code: MCD532

Unit Name: Plant Engineering

Description: Engineering Technologists are expected to distinguish the types, construction, working principles and performance of different kinds of conventional and non-conventional industrial plants. You will learn and understand the fluid power systems in the industries with the knowledge on how to interpret the pneumatics and hydraulics operations, circuit symbols and circuit diagrams. The course also covers plant and equipment constructions, functions, operation, safety, and maintenance to enhance your lifelong learning in plant operations.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Understand the basic concepts of pneumatics and hydraulics as an aid to the maintenance of industrial fluid power. 2. Distinguish the various types of power transmission (including Bearings and Lubrication system) Correctly install various forms of mechanical plant. 3. Analyze and discuss the plant service system and its basic functions and requirement. Illustrate and install various forms of mechanical plant. 4. Analyze and discuss the construction and operation of various types of bulk material handling and fluid transport 5. Apply the basic concepts of pneumatics and hydraulics as an aid to the maintenance of industrial fluid power 6. Distinguish the various types of power transmission (including Bearings and Lubrication systems) 7. Demonstrate the plant service system and its basic functions and requirement
