Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
LOs1 to 5 will involve the use of traditional lecture and tutorial methods; LO2,3 & 5 will also involve the use of practical exercises and 'real-life' case studies.Employability and PDP skills will be embedded into all face-to-face sessions and the classes on crystal structures, phase diagrams and failure mechanisms involve high levels of numeracy, problem solving and communication, all of which will enhance your employability on this module.Materials research carried out by the teaching team at Edinburgh Napier on metallic; properties, metallography, coatings & application methods will complement the teaching material.The module has traditionally been attended by students of different nationalities and this, allied to the multi national aspects of metallic materials used in applications as diverse as communication lines and structural edifices, will ensure that equality, diversity and international issues will be addressed at every opportunity.Report writing guide will be included to help international students and those not familiar with report writing. The wide range of learning modes e.g. lecture, tutorial, seminar, hands-on laboratory, laboratory demonstrations will provide diversity.Virtual Learning Environment and learning materials will complement face-to-face learning and should suit a wide range of learning styles & mature, part time students etc.
