| Face To Face | Lecture | 22 | Delivered overseas at GXUST, this module runs intensively, with 2-hour lecture sessions per topic, during which students focus exclusively on it. Lectures introduce core theory through explanations, worked examples, case studies, and visual materials. Each lecture concludes with guidance on subsequent tutorials and directed independent study. |
| Face To Face | Tutorial | 22 | Consists of a mixture of tutorials and laboratory experiments. The labs will demonstrate the practical application of some of the issues covered during the lectures. The tutorials will provide a hands-on learning experience under the guidance of a tutor. Students will work individually or in small groups to solve problems. Tutorials emphasise active learning and provide an opportunity to receive personalised feedback on exam-type questions. Delivered overseas in GXUST |
| Face To Face | Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 2.75 | The exam evaluates students' understanding of the module content. It tests their ability to accurately solve problems, demonstrate technical proficiency, and apply theoretical knowledge under time constraints. Held overseas during the GXUST exam period. |
| Online | Guided independent study | 153.25 | Guided independent study & completion of project report. Students will receive weekly guidance on what to study independently outside of class, including tutorial questions they are expected to complete in their own time.

| Report | 50 | 2~3~4~5 | Week 9 | , WORDS= 2000 | This report will look at the design of a ground source heat pump system for a building (M5), Students will first estimate the heat losses from the house itself (M2), then model the heat energy balance of the ground coil (M3). They will then select an appropriately sized pump (M6) and consider the effects of that on system performance (M13).. |
| Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 50 | 1~3~4~5 | Exam Period | HOURS= 2 hours 50 mins | On campus Centrally Time Tabled Exam. Exam questions will consist of a mixture of analytical questions, where they must demonstrate how to apply a systems approach to a complex problem [M6] and select correct processes and recognize their limitations. Questions may also relate to practical laboratory experiences during the term. Examination held overseas during GXUST exam period |
