| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to learning outcomesThe delivery of the technical content will be through a combination of lectures, tutorials and practical demonstrations (LO3). Practical aspects of the material in the module will be highlighted through specific laboratory demonstrations (LO1) linked to lecture delivered material where appropriate. Issues around ethics, sustainability, design considerations (LO2) and industrial constraints will be incorporated into the technical content delivery (LO4 and 5). 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)2 Courseworks. Technical content and critical appraisal of material considered will be assessed through 2 coursework submissions. The courseworks will be based around laboratory work, taught material, and information gained by each individual through directed study and reading. Prior to submission students will have the opportunity to critically assess the outcomes of lab exercises and discuss these with the tutor. Formative feedback will therefore be given both prior to and after coursework submission. First coursework will concentrate on assessing student on LO1, 2 and 3. The second coursework will assess on LO4 and 5.Research/teaching linkagesLaboratory based exercises will provide opportunities for exploration and discussion around topics and provides the opportunity to link the material delivered in the formal lectures with practical demonstrations. Where appropriate this also provides the opportunity for staff to introduce students to relevant areas of their current research.
