    Educational Objectives: 

    • To enable students to understand the roles of building services engineers in relation to electrical power supply and lighting.
    • To demonstrate how fundamental principles of electrical and lighting engineering can be applied to the design of electrical and lighting systems.
    • To enable students to design simple electrical and lighting systems under the constraints of time, budget and co-ordination requirements.
    Learning Outcomes: 
    • To explain the roles of building services engineers in the design of electrical and lighting systems.
    • To design and evaluate simple electrical and lighting systems in buildings.
    Engineering Applications:

    The course emphasizes the application of basic principles of electrical and lighting engineering to the design and analysis of electrical and lighting systems. The students have the opportunity to perform laboratory experiments or to undertake mini-projects to better understand the application of knowledge acquired.

    Special Relationships and Integration with Other Courses:

    The course requires the students to integrate a number of different topics in electrical and lighting engineering. It draws heavily on the Level 1 courses Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It is also related to the Level 2 course BBSE2001 Utility services.
