Course Details – Assessment Method

The programme comprises classroom-based modules, laboratory-based modules, a group design project and an individual engineering project. The programme provides a number of contact teaching and assessment hours (lectures, tutorials, laboratories, projects, examinations). You are also expected to spend time on your own - this self-study time is to review lecture notes, prepare course work assignments, work on projects and revise for assessments. Some of the modules involve compulsory one-week block delivery periods (Monday - Friday: 9.00am - 5.00pm). These are intensive problem-solving sessions designed to enhance team-working and provide you with an opportunity to focus your attention on particular problems. Modules are assessed by a variety of methods including examination and in-course assessment with some utilising other approaches such as group-work or verbal/poster presentations.
