• AC circuit analyses
• Electrical machines
• Preparation of technical report
• Technical presentation
• The competent and safe use of laboratory equipment
• Understanding of risk assessment and COSHH

• Numerical skills
• Teamworking
• Time and resource management

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 encouraged to make use of staff 'Surgeries' (otherwise "Office Hours") to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff on a one-to-one basis. These are sign-up sessions 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.

Summative Assessment

Formative Assessment:

Formative assessment is provided by means of compulsory formative problem sheets and verbal in-class feedback during compulsory Laboratory classes.

■ Attendance at all activities marked with this symbol will be monitored. Students who fail to attend these activities, or to complete the summative or formative assessment specified above, will be subject to the procedures defined in the University's General Regulation V, and may be required to leave the University
