| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsFormal Lectures and class tutorials are used to deliver the theory of advanced mechanics of materials and finite element method (LOs 1-4). Lectures also offer face to face support. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material. Tutorials cover the application by solving several practical examples (LOs 5). Computer lab session is designed to improve the computational and programming skills of the students by using interactive demonstrations (LOs 6).Assessment:The assessment strategy for the module is to develop students’ structural analysis skills, enhance their theory background of mechanics and finite element analysis. The exam paper will cover all six learning outcomes including the mechanics and finite element theories, computer programming and practical skills on using commercial software package (LOs 1,2,3,4,5,6). The exam duration is 3 hours. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills; The module links with industry as appropriate. Industrial supervision is possible and industrialists are invited to attend the final group presentation. Scholarly skills naturally are developed throughout the whole group project process.Research/ teaching linkages;Interaction with the Transport Research Institute,and with research students within the School will be encouraged as and where appropriate.Supporting equality and diversity;Respecting and embracing diversity and different cultural perspectives, transportation education attracts students from a vast number of countries. This provides a rich source of learning opportunities for fellow students to draw experiences and networks from a multicultural context.InternationalisationInternational experiences brought to the group by individuals will be beneficial to fellow group members when drawing on combined experiences. Research projects can be based on international projects and/or experiences.
