Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe objective is to build the learner's knowledge, understanding and problem solving skills in surface engineering through a combination of lectures, tutorials, laboratories and case studies. Use will be made of 'real' materials/component problems received in the Advanced Materials Centre and laboratory work will be given. Use will be made of the DTI funded Smart Materials Surfaces and Structures Network (SMART.mat) and students will be directed to its website. Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThe students will be encouraged to enrol online (FREE) for the Smart Materials Surfaces and Structures Network (SMART.mat) which is administered by the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) and attend the monthly technical meetings of its local affiliated societies - the Scottish Plastics & Rubber Association (SPRA) and the Scottish Association for Metals (SAM) who both provide outside speakers on relevant topical subjects as CPD for their members.Assessment (formative and summative)Tutorial work will be entirely formative with laboratory reports, assignments and final examination being summative. Assessments will include practical laboratory work.Research/ teaching linkagesThe materials group has significant research activity and also extensive industrial contacts which will naturally feed into the teaching on this module. Case studies will be taken from KTP programmes and consultancy work carried out by the Advanced Materials Centre as well as research activities such as conductive adhesives, laser marking, metal matrix composites and fuel cells.Supporting equality and diversityReport 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.
