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 to 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 programmable logic devices 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 world and the practical skills developed in modules are of immediate benefit to a wide-range of employment situations. There is currently a world-wide shortage of these skills.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. It is therefore appropriate that examples and case studies will be drawn from current active areas of research. This is particularly so for areas such as image processing and embedded processors, where the latest developments occur so rapidly that standard text books do not cover them.Internationalisation Technical developments in this area are almost entirely conducted in the international arena.
|
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.
|
The learning outcomes 1 and 2 will be assessed by two laboratory based mini-projects.. These will be worth 20% and 30% of the overall mark. A final design, development, implementation and test project will cover learning outcomes 3 and 4 and will be worth 50% of the module marks.
