basic circuit theory. Running tutorial groups where example exercises are solved by the student and material from the lectures is built upon, assisting in the students developing and understanding of the material covered by the course. This included information delivery to the students using white boards and solving exercise from course notebooks.

basic circuit theory and demonstrating the proper use of laboratory equipment in order for them to complete the laboratory exercises. This included correct setup and use of Dual-Channel power supplies, Function Generators and Oscilloscopes with the aim of allowing students to develop an understanding of electric circuit principles.

Factory construction look after the assembling of equipment as laid out in the detailed designs generated by the signaling engineers, its role is to build and prepare as much equipment as possible before it is shipped, in an effort to reduce the amount of time required at site. Signaling design looks after the design and implementation of railway safe-working systems in accordance with design principles, railway standards and customer requirements. Its role is to design a system that will meet the requirements of the customer for a particular job and provide a failsafe system. Verification and Validation has the role of testing the complete system and ensuring that railway safety principles are adhered too, that the implemented system functions as designed and that the equipment has been installed in accordance with railway standards.
