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 engage with staff Office Hours for one‑to‑one or small‑group discussion of any aspect of the module. These sessions are offered weekly during teaching, timings are published on Learn Ultra.
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.
