| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to learning outcomesLectures supported by notes, pointers to texts and video material will introduce the concepts and form a framework of self study. Tutorials will allow application of principles to specific examples for both dedicated and flexible automation, in particular in the area of assembly applications. Practical work (LO 3&4) will take place in the robotics laboratory and will involve application and programming of both robots and dedicated automation equipment, part of this work will be group based dis-assembly of robot programming methods. The practical content will be enhanced by videos of systems and other media via the VLE.Use will be made of British Standards, research publications, appropriate specifications and information from manufacturers and the trade press.The module will be assessed by final written examination (LO 1-3) and one piece of coursework (LO 3&4) involving designing and automation system for manufacture of a small product. This course work will also involve consideration of the product in the context of an automation application.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsStudents taking this module will already have an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline or have undertaken equivalent learning. The purpose here is to provide additional expertise in their chosen field. The School has very active ties to employers through the well established Industrial Liaison Committees. Assessment (formative and summative)A range of assessments will be used. Primarily the technical content will be assessed through a combination of courseworks (LO 3&4) and formal examination (LO 1-3). The formal examination will be used to test the students overall knowledge and understanding of the subject material.
|
Throughout the module there will be practical sessions and tutorial discussions where a students progress can be monitored.
|
One practical coursework will cover all learning outcomes L01, LO2, LO3 and LO4. The coursework will require the student to analyse an assembly task, design, write and test a programme to control one of the university robots. The centrally timetabled exam covers all learning outcomes L01, LO2, LO3 and LO4.
