Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- The courses in electromechanics and system stability and control are taught through lectures and reinforced by regular problem sheets, leading to the required problem solving capability.
- The topics covered in this module are analytical by nature and are assessed most effectively by timed, written examination which enables each student to demonstrate an ability to analyse and solve new problems.
- The laboratory programme also provides formative, hands-on experience in the subject area of electrical engineering.
- Students complete a technical assignment on a topic in electrical engineering related to the laboratory programme.
- Students are able to make use of staff 'Tutorial Hours' to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff on a one-to-one basis. These are sign up sessions and available for up to one hour per week.
- As part of this module, students are required to complete the following Laboratory Classes: CE28 Introduction to Systems Modelling; E26 Induction Motor; E27 DC Motor.

Laboratories, Problem Sheets
Students who do not attend monitored activities shown under Teaching Methods
and Learning Hours, or who fail to complete the summative or formative
assessment(s) specified above, may be subject to the Academic Progress
procedures defined in the University's General Regulation V, and may be
required to leave the University.
