| Module Description: |
This module aims to give the student a firm grounding in the basic elements of marine electrical auxiliaries as required by an Electro Technical Officer serving on board a large deep sea ship. The student will learn theoretical concepts and practical solutions to common problems within these systems.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| # |
Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Explain the theory of operation of marine electrical auxiliary systems commonly found on large ocean going vessels |
| LO2 |
Source and use technical documentation and manufacturers manuals for interpretation and understanding of system of operation and performance, for preventative and corrective maintenance procedures and for implementation of, and compliance with relevant safety protocols and practices. |
| LO3 |
Demonstrate an understanding of electrical safety subsystems present in a shipboard environment and a knowledge of high voltage safety precautions. |
| LO4 |
Work alone and in teams to carry out inspections, tests, measurements, repair and calibration of a representative range of ship-board electrical auxiliary systems. |
| LO5 |
Compile technical reports and logs of system performance and fault conditions, liaise with ship-based engineering personnel, maintain an appropriate inventory of spare parts and when necessary, source and order replacement modules/components in accordance with manufacturers specifications. |

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
