Course Summary
This module is intended to provide the basic knowledge required to study fire safety engineering. This includes basic tools related to fluid mechanics, heat transfer and combustion. The core of the module will provide a general overview of the discipline including fire science, fire safety and fire protection systems.
Course Description
The course specifically covers aspects related to fire science and their application in the design of the built environment. The course starts with an overview of the fire problem, describes the tools that the engineer has to design fire safe infrastructure and developed the fundamentals of fire science which underpin this practice. The course covers materials and their reaction to fire, structural fire engineering and fire testing.On completion of this course, the student will be able to:- Articulate the structure of the regulation of fire safety in England, Scotland and internationally.- Understand the relationship between regulations and guidance, and the scientific and societal principles which underpin these.- Perform calculations and present logical arguments to demonstrate equivalency (or otherwise) of engineering solutions to the statutory guidance.
