Teeside HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering

[sm75k]

I found the subject matter easier because the tees modules are only 15 credits whereas my college modules were 20 and subsequently went deeper into the subject matter. The thing that i found harder was obviously time management and making time for studying, a choice you don't get when you have deadlines at college.

Okay say something that can realistically be done. Are you an electrician ?

I'm an EC&I technician, ex military sparky. It can be done, just got to put the time in.

Cool, what does your job involve ?

 

[sm75k]

Planned maintenance, breakdowns and projects really, varying from HV breaker issues to 4-20mA instrumentation/DCS loops.

Has anyone started V3 of the electrical and electronics assignment 3?

Ah right . Do you enjoy it ? Find it better than sparkying?

Cant stand house bashing, hardly anything is done properly these days, even new builds! At least industrial stuff is uni-strut, tray work etc if we are doing an install.

Hi dears,

I am stuck with EEP TMA 3 V.3....I want to know if any body has completed it....

Hi Guys

Anyone got through this course and come out the other side alive?

After many years in software I would like to formalise my electronics skills and wondering if this or the ICS BTEC would be the way to go ?

Cheers
Mike

Yes lads, the half way point has been reached! Completed all Core modules except project! Done 4/8 modules. Started PLC module this week, so far it is the most interesting. (that's not really saying a lot though.)

Well done sparky! I got my final result yesterday, project=distinction So thats me done, what a relief! PLC's is a good module but i had to wait about 4 months for the software for the practical and it came when i was really busy at work so just did the 2 programs to gain a pass but i would have liked to have completed the lot.

Stick at it, it's all down hill now

Good work!:teeth_smile:

Thanks very much

Has anyone completed the new EEP TMA (V3) as could do with some pointers

Hi guys,

Thought i'd introduce myself as i'm also studying towards the HNC Electrical/Electronics through Teeside and found this thread to be very useful. Currently an avionics tech in the RAF and looking to improve my prospects in civvy street!

So far i'm finding it tough but enjoyable and rewarding, especially when i manage to get a decent result! So far i've completed the maths bridging course and started ENS in November. TMA1 and 2 are done and most of my way through TMA3. Just that damn potentiometer question left! If anyone can offer some words of advice it would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone requires help with the bridging course or the science modules i'd be more than happy to help.

Hi, although i've finished now this forum can be really good. As an ex military guy I cant recommend doing this HNC enough, it will give you a massive leg up on your CV when you leave.

 

[submariner111]

Hi,
Im studying the same HNC. Ive completed All the core modules (except the project) and PLC module. I am currently trying to complete Digital and Analogue devices and circuits, but am having trouble trying to simulate an Op Amp using SIMetrix. Has anyone got any experience of using this, who could guide me in the right direction.

 

[sm75k]

sorry shipper's i didn't do that module with tees, hopefully someone else can help

 

[tom_storer]

Hi, I start the maths bridging course on the 9th. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

[Electest]

Hi guys

has anyone got some pointer on the (EEP) 2 port networks (2014 version) questions. Any help much appreciated

thanks

hi has anyone done the annunciator for plc module,, i have done most of the logic just cant get the whole lot to reset unless i use the lamp test button to reset the whole lot.

Yeah I've done it. I maybe able to help.

So do any of you guy's currently working on your HNC course find the math easy or at a level you'd find on a C&G course??

Seeing as many of you on this thread needed to complete the math bridging course, i suspect the answer to be an emphatic ...NO!! lol!!

I didn't do myHNC with Teesside but did the same qualification with Gateshead college atnight classes, I barely scraped a C at GCSE so as you can guess Maths was nevermy strong point and I was worried about starting my HNC after only doing theC&G as opposed to the BTEC that I believe would have been a much betterqualification. However I found that even though it seems difficult at first it’sjust a matter of repetition till it clicks that the beauty about maths, I endedup finishing analytical methods with a distinction.
