| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LosTeaching and learning takes place predominantly in a creative studio environment. A variety of audio visual resources, group discussion and self directed methods (independent learning and study) will be used. These methods are designed to foster and underpin student engagement and academic progression, whilst sensitive to a range of learning styles. You will undertake analytical exercises exploring properties of materials and processes (LO1) Exploring material properties and selctions criteria for design applications (LO2) Material selection in relation to desired shape and manufacturing process capability. (LO3) How material finish affects design outcome (LO4 ) How post processing can improve a materials performance (LO5) In response to design briefs, detailing and specification will be visualised with CAD modelling software.Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsA comprehensive understanding of materials and processes is necessary to achieve design outcomes within specific industry resources. Knowledge of CAD software is vital in achieving employment in design or related disciplines. Analysis, processing of complex data, visual communication and working with others are key transferable skillsAssessment (formative or summative) Formative assessment is provided throughout the module within personal and group tutorials and interim reviews/critiques. Summative assessment occurs twice on this module: in week 7 for a case study analysis, 10 minute presentation, technical data [LO1&2], CAD modelling and presentation[LO5], weighted at 50% and in week 14 for an applied design project, 10 minute visual presentation with CAD modelling and presentation [LO5], technical data [LO 3,4] weighted at 50% [see section 18]. Presentations are made to an assessment panel and peers.Research / teaching linkagesAll teaching team members undertake scholarly activity within design and architecture a
