Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs 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. Practical lab work is used to highlight the principles of applied hydraulics. Module content is developed in consultation with employers.

Guest speakers offer the opportunity for networking and development of job search strategy.

Professional communication and report-writing skills are developed through the continuous assessment component

The laboratory experiments provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of hydraulics.

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 in tutorials and labs.

Summative Assessment:
Summative assessment is carried out through the coursework and end of module examination. The lab report provides the student with the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of fluid flow.
