| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLO 1 ,2, & 4 will involve the use of traditional lecture, tutorial and laboratory methods. The theoretical lectures are followed by laboratory based on application of the theory. A real case study will be used to demonstrate the integration of all the component parts of the module. Equipment and software widely used in industry will be used within the practical sessions. Students work independently on directed study although they are encouraged to discuss tasks with other class members.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsEquipment and software used within the laboratory are leading brands found extensively in industry. This helps equip the student with relevant skills that employers are looking for. The use of background research and its implementation in the design process require students to be motivated and self reliant. The use of case studies enhance the outlook of students who are already "committed" to a particular specialisationAssessment (formative and summative)The main assessments will be a formal examination and a written assignment based on the design of a distributed control system. Throughout the module there will be example sessions and tutorial discussions where a students progress can be monitored.Research/ teaching linkagesThe module leader is active in the design of control systems through consultancy and research into control systems self diagnostics. This work is used within case studies to demonstrate the latest techniques and exemplar good engineering practice.Supporting equality and diversityLO1 -4 All materials are available on WebCT to cater for the diverse student group.Timetabled academic supervision is available each taught week of the module to support students.InternationalisationInternational Standards are used in the study of good engineering design practice.
