Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Formal lectures and class tutorials are used to deliver content and offer face to face
support. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material. Moodie is used to
present the material and to inform you about the developments. The learning outcomes are delivered
using all available methods.
The main skills are (a) ability to grasp key concepts
pertinent to the successful analyses and design of thermofluid systems, (b) the communication of
ideas and analytical and reflective thinking through consideration of systems components and
characteristics. Module content is developed in consultation vith employers and/or professional
engineering institutions. Communication and report-writing skills are developed through the
continuous assessment component.
Staff undertake scholarly and research activitities in this area and some of it is reflected in
the delivery of this module.
Formative Assessment:
Logbook & weekly tutorials covering all learning outcomes, as both involve weekly nteraction
with students during tutorial classes, which will include problems related to all of the learning
outcomes.
Summative Assessment:
Final exam and log book will include multiple questions covering all of the learning outcomes. Formal log book signing intervals will be established along with a final submission of the log book at the
specified deadline.
