Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module follows a block teaching approach where the lectures, tutorials and practicals are delivered by the Module Leader or Edinburgh Napier colleague in 2 x 1 week blocks. Additional support is provided by the Module Leader through on-line help and discussion and a local tutor is also available for help. The local tutor is provided with all the learning materials to support the delivery. Practicals are undertaken in the teaching blocks and may also be provided after the teaching block. Email communication between the local tutor and the Module Leader ensure that the tutor’s queries are resolved and that the module is supported in the appropriate manner.A blended learning philosophy is adopted on the module, where the students are required to enhance their independent learner skills through an active approach to learning. The work to be undertaken is contained within a series of learning modules. Each learning module contains face-to-face activities of lectures and tutorials where the main subject themes are taught. In addition within each learning module students will be asked to complete a range of directed learning activities which are based on active learning and encourages students to develop as independent learners.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills:Employability and PDP skills will be embedded into all face-to-face sessions and the classes on fatigue, creep and fracture toughness involve high levels of numeracy, problem solving and communication, all of which will enhance the employability of students on this module.Assessment (formative and summative): The assessments will be a formal examination (LO 1-5) and an assignment (LO 4,5) - Throughout the module, there will be example sessions and tutorial discussions where a student's progress can be monitored.Research/ teaching linkagesThe materials group has significant research activity and also extensive industrial contacts which will naturally feed into the teaching on this module.
