Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methodsThe objective is to provide the learner with both the knowledge and the understanding of materials (LO 1-2) and basic manufacturing processes (LO 3-4) through a combination of lectures, tutorials and hands-on laboratories. LO 2 for example, can only be achieved by hand-on practical work. Extensive use will be made of materials in ‘real’ manufacturing situations through case studies, video, and if resources allow visits to industry or visits by guest speaker from industry. Embedding of employability skillsCurrently topical subjects in materials science and manufacturing industry will be introduced to the students by the teaching team and additional outside speakers, e.g. materials for energy, materials for displays.Research/ teaching linkagesThe materials group has significant research activity and also extensive industrial contacts which will naturally feed into the teaching on this module.Supporting equality and diversityThe style, pace of presentation and lecture notes are continually monitored and reviewed through feedback from students to ensure that they are suitable for all types of students, e.g. part-time, full-time, mature, overseas and those with special needs.All lecture, tutorial and assessment materials are available in Moodle to permit access to a diverse student group. Academic help and support is provided on a weekly basis in the timetabled classes. Engineering Plus sessions, provided by the School, are available as a drop-in support facility for all students.InternationalisationThe global nature of the materials and manufacturing industry will be emphasised throughout this module. However, examples relating to Scotland will be highlighted wherever possible.
