Demonstrate a working knowledge of using mathematical and engineering modelling tools such as Matlab and Simu link to address real-world electrical and electronic engineering design challenges

Please refer to the lecture slides (introduction to Engineering Modelling and Simulations) on the six key features a real-world engineering model is expected to have.

Please refer to the real-world problem examples and the template for the ‘basic’ reflective statement provided as follows: Singapore Polytechnic School of Business (SP)

Advanced Real-world Engineering Design Problem (Example I) The development of a housing estate has just been recently approved by a County Borough Council in North Wales, United Kingdom. The housing estate will have only 3-bedroom bungalows and each bungalow will have a living space with ceiling-fitted lighting points.

The electrical services team responsible for the electrical works on the estate project is currently looking for cost-effective and efficient ways to estimate the total power consumption of each bungalow. In particular, the number of ceiling-fitted lighting points to be used in the living space in each of the bungalows to ensure a good level of illumination (dusk hours) and save energy as far as possible is to be estimated and justified.

As a final-year engineering student. use your knowledge of engineering design. modeling, and simulation tools such as MATLAB and Simulink to determine the most cost-effective and the number of lighting points to be used and justify your choice by comparing possible alternatives.
