Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LosTraditional lecture and tutorials delivered (all LOs) along with practical lab support for design and synthesis exercises for system simulation and implementation (LO1-4). Training on the use of software design tools will be given for digital system design and logic simulation designed to encourage active participation from everyone in the class.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsExposure to modern design methodology and software design tools applied to practical design and implementation of digital systems enriches the skill set of the participants which in turn improves the employability of the individuals. Where possible opportunities for innovative designs and solutions will be shown to further enhance PDP and scholarship skills.Research/ teaching linkagesThe coursework assignment will require students to conduct basic research and to obtain and make sense of manufacturers’ datasheets of devices to be used in their design to further enhance learning experience.Supporting equality and diversityCourse material will be made available in printed and downloadable electronic forms to support students with different requirements. Face-to-face lectures and tutorial sessions provide ample opportunities for interactive learning. Additional support provided by the school is also available.
|
Throughout the course students are shown examples on how to break down a complex problem into smaller blocks to ease the design process. These techniques will be applied in the coursework assignment to put a system together to demonstrate design and communication skills of the student in a written report.
|
Assessments are by coursework, a written report on the design and implementation of a digital system, and examination. LO1-4 will be assessed by coursework and report. LO1-6 will be assessed by examination.
