Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Formal lectures and class tutorials are used to deliver content and offer face to face support. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material. Module content is developed in consultation with employers and/or professional engineering institutions. Communication and report- writing skills are developed through the continuous assessment component. Staff undertake scholarly and research activities in this area, and some of it is reflected in the delivery of this module. All materials are available on Moodle to cater for the diverse student group. Academic supervision and tutorial support are available each taught week of the module to support students.

Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment is provided through feedback to students in the tutorials.

Summative Assessment:
Summative assessment is carried out through the coursework and end of module examination.
