Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe principles and knowledge base underlying learning outcomes 1 to 4 will be covered in lectures. However, much of the material covered by the learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 & 4 is of a practical nature and will be covered in laboratory based sessions. This will involve several mini-projects, in which the students will be developing and experimenting with signal processing components and systems.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsAll aspects of the module are directly related to current technologies in the field of digital system design, development and implementation. The laboratory facilities are used by the students throughout the module and are built around industry standard computer aided design and development tools. These are currently in widespread use throughout the electronic and communication system design world and the practical skills developed in modules are of immediate benefit to a wide-range of employment areas. There is currently a world-wide shortage of these skills in industry and in research and development.Research/ teaching linkagesThis is a rapidly developing field of study in which the School of Engineering and Built Environment has strong research interests in areas covered by this module.

The University is currently undertaking work to improve the quality of information provided on methods of assessment and feedback. Please refer to the section on Learning and Teaching Approaches above for further information about this module’s learning, teaching and assessment practices, including formative and summative approaches.

Learning Outcome 2 will be assessed by a laboratory based assignment. This will be worth 20% of the overall module mark. The final design, development, implementation and test project will cover Learning Outcome 3, will be worth 40% of the overall module mark. The assessment of this project will comprise the submission of a formal report and an oral examination. Learning Outcomes 1 & 4 will be assessed by a 1.5 hour examination, which will offer a choice of 3 from 6 questions will be worth 40% of the overall module mark. Feedback, as appropriate, will be provided on practical exercises and the report.
