Assessment methods and strategies
A student’s skill in numerical problem solving is assessed as part of the examination process described above. Coursework that requires the use of design or simulation software is assessed through written reports. The computing laboratory exercises are assessed through computer-based tests.
The experimental skills learnt in the electrical laboratory are assessed through a combination of oral examinations, formal laboratory reports, or computer-based exercise.
Projects also test a range of practical skills and project reports and presentations are assessed for evidence of these skills.
Student presentations and reports are also used to assess communication skills, reasoning (such as ability to answer questions on their work) and planning and management of complex individual tasks or of group tasks.
