Fire Safety Engineering

The aim of this module is to introduce you to the fundamentals of combustion and fire. Your main goal will be to gain an understanding and knowledge of combustion, fire and explosion phenomena.

The module will provide you with the basics of the legal system operating in the UK. You will learn to understand the employment relationship. You will work on basic leadership, management and team working skills.

This module aims to introduce all necessary elements which are required to start a consistent further education in building and fire safety engineering. The module introduces you to the principles of energy transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics and sets the scene for further study.

This module introduces you to the functional requirements of materials for structures. You will investigate materials used in structs and examine key construction methods.

On this module you'll establish your mathematical skills and techniques to analyse engineering problems. You'll then apply these in the analysis and solution of common engineering problems.

Our module will provide you with an underpinning framework to develop your understanding to provide community safety advice and improve their overall awareness of factors which can prevent the safety messages from getting to the groups most at risk within our society.

You'll develop mathematical, analytical, IT, communication, and research skills. You will need this knowledge as you progress through the course.

You'll learn about fluid flow and how to apply these principles to flames, fires, and explosions. The module builds on the theory and practical themes introduced in level one. You'll further improve your qualitative understanding of combustion, fire, and explosion phenomena.

The module aims to develop your understanding of the impact of fires on the built environment, including building construction methods and materials used, smoke movement and control, law regulations and standards. It explores different types of fire behaviour with case studies of the impact of fires on buildings nationally and internationally.

In this module you will learn the importance of fire safety systems, means of escape and the implementation of fire safety management systems. You will develop an understanding of the legal aspects of fire safety.

This module will develop your understanding of the construction of multi-storey buildings. You will investigate and evaluate the design, construction and performance under normal and fire conditions.

This module follows on from the Community Safety 1 and builds on the knowledge gained to develop further skills to work effectively and efficiently with partner agencies. You'll be asked to make strategic decisions and view problems from the top down It will introduce the concept of investigating the cause behind the cause, which will develop research skills to influence further risk reduction strategies.

This module will develop your research and evaluation skills. You will have the opportunity to develop a project which will test your investigative and analysis skills. This module will benefit your employability skills with the completion of the project.
