This course provides the student with an understanding of the operational characteristics of common electrical machines in the electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering industry (dc, ac induction and synchronous motors). Both theoretical and practical characteristics are covered including, principles and structure of dc machines - constructional details, commutation effects, principles and structure of induction motors, principles and structure of synchronous motors
Mine machinery and materials handling form very essential unit operations in any mining undertaking. The key to the success of a mining venture largely depends on how efficiently and economically one can move materials. The task of loading, hauling and hoisting of rock in the form of waste or ore should however not be considered in isolation. Ground fragmentation and mineral beneficiation are unit operations that are interdependent with materials handling.
This course presents some of the common aspects of excavating, loading, and hauling. Both cyclic and continuous materials handling systems are presented with emphasis on the systems most applicable in metalliferous mining.

The primary objective of the course is to educate students on the main concepts of computer-aided design: solid modelling, assembly design, engineering drawing, conventions, dimensioning, and tolerance specification. In addition, conceptual design skills, such as creative thinking and idea illustration by sketching are taught.
Course Description
This course is meant to provide students with a platform to learn MATLAB/Simulink and LabVIEW quickly and successfully. Students should be able to write simple scripts in MATLAB, design controllers in MATLAB and Simulink.
Content
· Introduction to general Engineering problem solving principles.
· MATLAB: Introduction to the MATLAB environment: Variables, scripts, and operations.
· Visualization and programming, solving equations and curve fitting, Symbolics, Simulink®, file I/O, building GUIs.
· Application of MATLAB for circuit analysis and introduction of important toolboxes for control engineering, signal processing and communication systems simulation through simple mini projects.
· There will be a scenario week where students will be tasked to use MATLAB to solve any electromechanical engineering problem of their choice.
This course provides students with the basics of computers and their application in business. It exposes students to the operating system, input devices, output devices and storage units and their interrelationships. The course also introduces students to the use of the computer for processing of data and searching information on the internet.
