| Mode of activity | Learning & Teaching Activity | NESH (Study Hours) | NESH Description |
| Online | Guided independent study | 77 | Guided independent study.
Students take responsibility for their own learning process, with support and direction from academics through tutorials and research assessments. |
| Face To Face | Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 3 | Centrally Time-Tabled Examination |
| Face To Face | Lecture | 22 | Each week, students attend a 2-hour lecture on the theoretical aspects of modelling and finite element analysis. These involve guided learning by the tutor(s) to help the students understand the theory and solve problems using examples. |
| Face To Face | Practical classes and workshops | 22 | Each student attends a two-hour practical class every week, during which they are taught how to use the FEA software ANSYS in PC labs. Different modelling techniques and analysis procedures will be taught to help the students solve complex engineering problems, which they will have to demonstrate in the Coursework part of the assessment. |

| Report | 40 | 1~2~3~4 | Week 11 | , WORDS= 30 pages. | Students will demonstrate the theory and practicals they learned in the class and labs in formulating and analysing complex engineering problems [M2] to design solutions for complex engineering problems [M5] by selecting appropriate computational (FEA) and analytical techniques (theoretical calculations and closed-form solutions from solid mechanics) [M3]. In doing so, they evaluate technical literature [M4], use practical laboratory skills (ANSYS software for FEA) to investigate problems [M12] and select appropriate materials and technologies while understanding and assessing the limitations of different materials and design and modelling methodologies [M13]. |
| Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 60 | 1~2~3~4 | Exam Period | HOURS= 3 Hours | Centrally Time-Tabled Examination.Students will apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics and engineering principles to find the solutions to complex engineering problems [M1]. Students will use available data to formulate and analyse problems using the first principles of mathematics, engineering principles and engineering judgement [M2]. |
