Teaching/learning methods and strategies
The set problems that compliment each the lectures of each module are designed for students to exercise the skills in each topic and through practice and feedback embed those skills. Putting those skills to use in combination in projects helps to form links between related skills and shows how principles learnt in one area apply to another.
The experiments students conduct in the electrical laboratory during their first two years are designed to build skills in experimental technique and in the use of certain instruments. They also demonstrate the principles of physical systems described in lectures. Similarly the computing laboratory exercises allow students to develop skills in programme design, coding and testing.
