This unit will be a project-based unit with some early lecture-based teaching, assessed entirely through coursework. Students will be set a design task of an electro-mechanical system (such as design of a heat sink). This projects unit reinforces the concepts covered by other units, rather than introducing new material.
Working in small groups (2/3 students per group) each group will be required produce design calculations for the problem set and then manufacture and validate this design.
Students will then be required to submit a joint report and individual lab books and this will form the basis of the assessment.
Having completed this course, students should be able to:
Introductory lectures, followed by lab-based small group teaching. (Dynamic learning manuals may be considered).
Students will then be required to submit a joint group report and individual lab books and this will form the basis of the assessment.
Group report, 50% (ILO 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Laboratory books and supplied script (or dynamic manual) will provide the information needed.
