| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures introduce topics for study and computer activity provides application. Application of theory is supported by tutorialswhich are formative assessments in WebCt and which provide instantaneous feedback. The tutorials are supported bymathematical software. Simulation software provides applications of the theory in engineering situations and reinforces thetheory.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsMathematical and simulation software, MathCAD and MATLAB/Simulink, are used throughout. These are widely used inindustry 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 outcomesLO1, LO2 and LO3. Each test draws its questions from the same bank as the tutorial. On-line tutorials provide formativeassessment 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 questionsand 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. Thestudents are asked to research equations, data and current practice in the subject as part of their directed, independentlearning.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 isprovided by the School as a drop in support facility for all students.
