Hi Gizzy.

I copied the table from page 19 of lesson 3 and got the mark for the question.

Hope this helps.

Anyone completed DCS Assignment 2, Question 5?

Using the information below, produce a set of calibration figures for the control loop TICA1945.

T11495 Range = 100 to 420 degrees c
TICA1495 SP = PV = 300 degrees c
TCV1495 = 30%



Struggling with this one can’t find anything similar in the lesson material.

did you complete this question? currently can't find anything in course notes

Hi Lester,

Welcome to the group and best of luck with the studies ahead!

I helped my work colleague through his maths bridge (I fortunately didn't have to do it for mine!) it is aimed I'd say just higher than gcse maths. You do a bit of stuff with algebra, trigonometry, calculus (hardest thing you might not have done) and statistics I believe. We smashed through it in about a month to 2 months and that was solely him with a little bit of guidance from me when it came to the TMAs. The lesson notes are very good and will easily get you through it!

And regardless you have a good group here who do try to help each other out so any issues just give us a shout. I'm quite active on the forum so feel free to message me.

Hi Connor.

Thanks for message. I have just purchased the foundation maths from Teeside. I'll give you a shout if i get stuck!! cheers Lester

Hi all,

Anyone done Microprocessors module? Just need a bit of guidance of where to start with TMA 2.

Cheers eets!

Hi,

Currently looking for my last module before the project.

I have completed: pneumatics and hydraulics, DADC, ES, DCS, EEP, AME.

Looking for an relatively easy module so I can complete it quickly.

Kind regards

Gizzy

Just finished the maths bridging course. Not bad at all, really enjoyed the calculus part.
It seems a bit like a ghost town on the student forum at teeside, seems like i was the only student on the course!. Have not heard from anyone not even the tutor. I feel that i'm in for a shock (hnc course), the maths on the bridging course, i would say was GCSE higher paper with a little basic calculus. I submitted the three TMAs lats week and not heard from anyone, how long does it take before i can start the HNC after the maths course? really keen to get this started.

Takes on average 1 to 3 weeks to get assessments marked to be fair. The forums are dead, ones like this and there's a good Facebook one which are much more active. You can literally start the next module as soon as they confirm the bridging module is complete. Just call the engineering team for the course and pay for the first module

Hi Lester,

ive just started the bridging course,so far not too bad!

what HNC unit are you going to do first? I am thinking it might be a idea to get the maths one out the way

Hi Sam, I plan to do the maths unit first whilst I’m in math mode! The math bridging course is not bad at all. The practice assessments are identical to the actual assessments. Recommend you do practice ones until you get 100% until you attempt proper one. Go carful when inputting answers: for instance.. 2y^2+4y+15 should be inputted as: 2*y^2+4*y+15. I got marked down for this.

 

[Connor Mennell]

Hi guys,

So microprocessors is done! Phew! 2 modules left now so want a rather easy module before I do my project, anyone got some suggestions? Done 3 core and PLCs, electrical machines and microprocessors.

Cheers,

Connor

Can anyone help with EM TMA 2 question 4.. I'm getting myself confused I think and the notes are p**s poor

 

[GIZZY]

hi,

can anyone help with Electrical Supply and Distribution: TMA 2

questions 3, 4 and 5 i handed my assignment in but failed so have to give a re-submission.

if you need help in return i can help with ESD bar TMA2, DCS, APH, DADC, EEP, ES and AME

Kind Regards

Hi mate if you can wait till Monday I’ve done it.. only got a pass in tma2 but pass is a pass

 

[GIZZY]

Hi mate if you can wait till Monday I’ve done it.. only got a pass in tma2 but pass is a pass

Yeah I can wait till Monday mate, I don't think I can get more than a pass as it's a re-submission anyway.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi all,

I'm currently on my last and final module, the project, for this course!

Just wondering though if anyone has done it and can let me know what sort of projects people did. Just struggling to gauge how big or small a project can be. Got plenty of arduino projects at home I can do but unsure if they need to be more substantial

Cheers!

Connor

Hi, I'm looking at starting my project next too but haven't purchased the module yet, does it tell you anything in the course notes about how and what we're supposed to do?

I've only just bought it myself. The guidance for project writing is fine but struggling to know what a good project is. My work is closing so projects are limited to do. So I'm inclined to do an arduino one. Just don't know what to do!

What I don't understand is do we build the project or do we just write up about it?

 

[Connor Mennell]

Well that is up to you, I've been told you can do a "research" project but they are alot harder to prove it went successful and do a decent conclusion. I was advised that if you can do a project at work that is best but arduino projects are fine too. What do you work as?

Hi Conor Im in the middle of the first module (math) so a long way off the project. How complex does the project have to be? Take a look at my YouTube channel there may be a few projects that might give you some ideas: Lester Electronics - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCClA4ezBnhsdD1bDoQX6wJw

Hi Lester, welcome to the group! Well it has to have enough substance from what I can gather to make a 3000 word report. So it needs to be meaty or you need to be able to go into alot of detail about it. I had a look at your channel and the thermostat system probably would be okay! I'm struggling though to decide what to do aswell... They say don't copy examples online but who realistically designs it all from scratch from little knowledge?

Hi Conor. What about a water me plant alarm. This would contain an opamp To measure the resistance of the soil Between two prongs and a 555 timer For the sound alarm? Like I said earlier I’ve just started the course So don’t know what complexity they require.

Uhh you have an example or drawing of it? Might be even better if you could automate it and have an automatic water machine

I currently work as a service technician for a railway company

 

[Connor Mennell]

I currently work as a service technician for a railway company

So do you do alot of upgrades for trains? Maybe just ask your manager/project guys why the modification is being done and just go through and take pictures of the install etc and explain why it needed to be done. Just make it out like you've made the suggestion!

hi,

is there anyone that can help me on electrical distribution and supply TMA 2 question 5?

help would really be appreciated!!

Hi folks i have completed Engineering math, and Engineering science. I have been working through the HNC structure sequentially. The next one listed is Engineering design. My question is would it matter if i did EEP before engineering design? EEP is listed after Engineering design. Just wondered in what order you folks have done it in. I know however, the course structure has changed somewhat from how it was a couple of years ago.

Thanks Lester

Hi Lester,

I have completed the HNC and never followed any particular order, PLC was my first module followed by math and science, then I randomly selected what module I fancied next finishing with the project which they would not allow me to start until the other 7 modules had been completed.

Hope that helps.

I'm thinking im going to do EEP before ED. I have just finished ES which finished on electrical principals. Cheers lester

Graham,

I am wanting to do this PLC module but aren't sure whether or not it'll be adequate for me, do you have the original assignment that I can look at to see how hard it is before I pay for the module?

Kind Regards,

George

 

[lesterwyatt]

Hi folks. Just finished electrical principals. Really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of purchasing engineering design next. Could someone tell me how long it took you to finish the engineering design module? is it as lengthy as EEP? Im just trying to workout timings for this module, and the content.

Cheers Lester

 

[Joshua Gordon]

Currently doing my first TMA where it's a written piece rather than a multiple choice exam.
How long should my answers be to questions and should I be including references?
I don't want to write too much and I don't want to write too little.

 

[GIZZY]

hi guys,

anyone started or completed their project yet? and willing to give me a bit of insight?

Hey guys, Looking to start the HNC in a couple months after doing the bridging course.
Wondering if this forum is still active?

Welcome, Snowden!

Yes, the forum is active.

Don't worry about the course if you need help just ask.

You should be able to complete the HNC within a year.
