ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT DETAILS
Coursework
A 1500-word report on the solution of practical Engineering problems using mathematical tools and reflection on the skills gained, weighted at 50% meeting Learning Outcomes 3 and 4. Assessing AHEP 4 Outcomes F3, F6, F12, F18.

Examination
A 1-hour exam requiring students to answer mathematical questions, weighted at 50% meeting Learning Outcomes 1 and 2. Assessing AHEP 4 Outcomes F1, F2, F3.

Formative assessment will include engineering problem-solving using mathematical tools/techniques to evaluate theoretical understanding and develop problem-solving skills.

LEARNING STRATEGIES
Whole group lectures will be used to deliver new material and to consolidate previous material. Small-group tutorials, with activities designed to enhance the understanding of the material delivered in the lectures, will be used to apply the skills and knowledge learned. A mixture of classroom based and practical activities will take place supported by staff.
RESOURCES
Suitable software tools to model and analyse engineering scenarios using mathematical techniques
SPECIAL ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
Must be registered on BEng (Hons) Electronic and Information Engineering provision at XUPT, China.
