Modular Certificate in Fire Protection Systems - Part of Diploma in Engineering (Building Services & Fire Safety) (DEBF1)
About This Course
(a) Fire Science
This module provides the students with the fundamentals of fire science and fire behaviour of building materials and products. It also covers the factors affecting the development of fire in compartments and fire hazards of smoke in enclosed buildings.
(b) Fire Engineering
This module provides students with the knowledge of active fire protection systems such as fire alarm, fire extinguisher, fire hose reel, wet & dry riser, automatic fire sprinkler and smoke control system. This module equips students with the skill and knowledge to design, install and maintain fire protection systems in buildings.
(c) Performance Based Design
In this module, students are introduced to the regulations and principles of performance-based fire safety design. It also equips students with the knowledge and skills to use the various types of computational tools for evaluation, fire/evacuation simulation and prediction of fire situations.
