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.

Formative Assessment

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

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.
