Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

• The courses in Manufacture and Management are covered by lectures which are reinforced by problem sheets, leading to the required problem solving capability. The assessment of this element is by written examination which enables each student to demonstrate an ability to analyse and solve new problems using a range of skills.
• Students undertake a multi-disciplinary group design project which requires the application of advanced computational and analytical knowledge and skills. They are required to plan and manage the project with the assistance of a design tutor who acts in a consultative capacity. The assessment of this element is based upon a substantial, written report which brings together the specialised contibutions of team members. All aspects of the project are taken into consideration including oral presentation, teamworking and initiative.
• A two-week practical course which may be based in the School of Engineering or in industry according to the selected option. Students are faced with new and complex problems which provide the opportunity for them to enhance their problem solving skills in a team environment with a particular emphasis on industrial relevence. Assessment is by written report and oral presentation.
