Study methods
Mixture of theory by lectures/teaching, practical demonstrations, workshops, tutorials, virtual learning environments, guest speakers and field trips with 15 contact hours per week over 32 weeks during the academic year.
Student are expected to complete approximately 90 hours per unit for each 15 credit unit of independent study (i.e. on research and completing assignments) and an unsupervised form of learning (e.g. e-learning, e-assessment, coursework, work-based learning, etc). -
How is the course assessed?
Assessment is through a series of time-constrained written assignments which involve design projects, practical, simulation, posters, logbooks and presentations.
