| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsStudents will be taught in interactive groups. Graphical calculators will be used to enhance the teaching and learning. For part of the student centred learning computer based assessments will be available to allow students plenty of practice on Foundation Mathematics and Calculus. Weekly tutorial handouts are an integral part of the module.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThe module will be relevant to all engineering programmes and hence will show the use of several engineering disciplines. Engineers are required to have a good understanding of mathematics and using it in real engineering examples is a real motivating factor. On completion of this module the students will begin to be able to solve engineering problems using mathematics with confidence. This will make them more employable.Research/ teaching linkagesThe emphasis of this module is to learn by investigating results, observing patterns, visualizing graphs and using technology. The teaching team undertake scholarly activity and attend events which keep them up to date with the subject material. The students are asked to research current practice in the subject as part of their directed, independent learning. Supporting equality and diversityBooklets on Foundation Mathematics and Calculus are available for extra support. These booklets were written by members of the mathematics group especially for students experiencing difficulties with mathematics in their first year. Twice weekly MathsPlus sessions are available to students, where mathematics lecturers provide extra help on a one-to-one basis or to small groups of students.

Tutorial Sheets containing exercises and practice online assessments will be used as formative assessment, with the opportunity for students to get feedback on written work.

1. Combined Foundation Mathematics and Complex Numbers Test2. Calculus Test3. Vector and Descriptive Statistics Assessed problem sheetThe summative assessments comprise an online assessment, a written class test, and a short piece of coursework in the form of an assessed exercise sheet. The last assessment enables students to use Excel or another statistical package to meet LO6 The first assessment will take place in week 5.
