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. Lectures cover the theory and numerical techniques to: 1) analyse and design truss and frame structures (LO1, 2); 2) calculate the design floor loading for typical floor layout (LO 4). Tutorials cover the application of the theory by solving practical examples (LO 3). Tutorials are also designed to improve the computational and programming skills of the students by using interactive demonstrations (LO 1-4). Employability and scholarship skills are embedded in the module content, which is developed in consultation with employers and/or professional engineering institutions. Communication and report- writing skills are developed to enhance professional and effective communication. Formative and summative assessment takes place through tutorial/test activities (LO 1-4). Summative assessment takes place in the final examination (LO 1-4), the weighting of which is configured to smooth the transition from Year 1 to Year 3. Research/ teaching linkages: Staff undertake scholarly and research activities in this area, in particular related to professional consultancy work and it is reflected in the illustrative materials of this module. All materials are available on Moodle. Academic supervision and tutorial support are available each taught week of the module to support students.Professional threads (DESIGN, PROFESSIONALISM & ETHICS) as set out in both Learning Objectives and here (Learning & Teaching methods above).
