| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLectures introduce topics for study and computer activity provides application. Application of theory is supported by tutorials which are formative assessments in WebCt and which provide instantaneous feedback. The tutorials are supported by mathematical software. Simulation software provides applications of the theory in engineering situations and reinforces the theory.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsMathematical and simulation software, MathCAD and MATLAB/Simulink, are used throughout. These are widely used in industry and there is a demand for graduates with experience in the software.Assessment (formative and summative)Quantitative assessment is achieved by regular class tests that are delivered through WebCt. These cover learning outcomes LO1, LO2 and LO3. Each test draws its questions from the same bank as the tutorial. On-line tutorials provide formative assessment whilst, on-line tests and provide quantitative assessment. A supervised exam covering all learning outcomes, including LO4 provides quantitative assessment for the subject (choice of 4 questions from 5).On-line tests (6) - 6 tests are available on line at any time from week 2 to week 12. Each test generally consists of 10 questions and is time limited by WebCT to 2 hours.Research/ teaching linkagesThe teaching team engage in scholarly activity and attend events which keep them up to date with the subject material. The students are asked to research equations, data and current practice in the subject as part of their directed, independent learning.Supporting equality and diversityThe lecture and tutorial materials are available in and electronic format on WebCT to cater for the diverse student group. Timetabled academic supervision is available each taught week of the module to support students. Engineering Plus is provided by the School as a drop in support facility for all students.
