Range of Variables
This module is taught in a classroom which has access to a complete range of
modern audio visual presentation equipment. Demonstration models together with
suitably sectioned machinery components should also be available for use by
instructors to illustrate particular points.
Use of a practical demonstration laboratory area is required for a range of
practical laboratory experimentation to back up the classroom learning.
The availability of appropriate computer simulation software is desirable but
not essential for the successful conduct of this module.
The teaching method used will be modified lecture, integrated with practical
work.

Evidence Guide
Internal Assessment 100%
The assessment of this module is holistic in nature and requires assessing on
the integration of skills and knowledge. To be successful in this module, the
learner must show evidence of achievement of the module aim. This approach
enables the assessment to be carried out by different means to achieve a
holistic outcome.
The assessment scheme is generally designed to ensure that critical knowledge
and skills are assessed more than once and in a variety of ways throughout the
module’s assessment events. This provides a valid assessment of the learner’s
abilities and avoids misrepresentation of failures caused by single cases of
poor performance.
Assessment methods include:
- Short answer questions, requiring sketching with associated written
explanations or the interpretation of sketches or diagrams
- Attendance at practical laboratory/workshop sessions, and satisfactory
completion of appropriate reports
- Calculation type questions.
