Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Traditional teaching methods such as lectures will be supplemented with introduction of relevant cutting-edge international research in the field. The lectures on different offsite systems will include case studies of application in real projects. This knowledge will be solidified through external visits to an offsite manufacturing company and/or building site (depending on availability). This combination of theory and practice will build the knowledge base of the students (Learning Outcomes 1 and 2).The second part of the module will cover the development of a research problem, method and small scale data analysis in relevance to a selected sustainability problem. This approach will stimulate creativity in the students and develop their research abilities in preparation for their dissertations (Learning Outcomes 3, 4 and 5).
|
Case study - students will be asked to analyse a selected case study and its design for manufacturing principles. This will target Learning Outcomes 1 and 2.Research question and methodology proposal - in preparation for the summative assessment students will outline their proposed approach and receive feedback to strengthen their final submission.
|
Technical report - at the end of the module students will submit a report based upon a social, environmental or economic sustainability research question related to design for manufacturing. (LOs 1,2,3 and 4)Case study (same as above, LOs 1 and 2)Reflective log - LO 5
