Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and Teaching methods including their alignment to learning outcomes New investigative work, either desk- and/or laboratory-based will be required to gain deeper insight and the student will also develop further skills in the reflection and presentation of their chosen topic (LO1-LO3). This module will provide the opportunity to apply new knowledge within the context of professional experience, reflecting on and learning from prior experience, and developing abilities to apply this to real-life construction project situations (LO4). You will learn how to analyse, synthesise and solve complex problems (LO5), and to develop their interpersonal skills and to be able to interact effectively with a range of specialists (LO6). The module also develops an active approach to study and the capacity for independent learning. You will develop, execute and manage an independent program of academic research, producing a series of related outputs through the duration of this. The module links intensively with industry. Company Directors and practising engineers are assigned to each student group and meet the students regularly throughout.Meetings are held both at Napier and in the company offices. Minutes of all meetings are taken by the students. This intense involvement with industry develops employability skills. Scholarly skills naturally are developed throughout the whole group project process. Module content is developed in consultation with employers. Guest speakers offer the opportunity for networking and development of job search strategy. Communication and report-writing skills are developed through the continuous assessment component.
|
Regular feedback is provided to students throughout the module.
|
The assessment strategy for the module is to develop your organisational skills, your critical analysis and reflective skills and other employability skills. Summative assessment will be through coursework (LOs 1-6)
