This module will be delivered in a two hour lecture and five hour practical per week over 12 weeks. Students may be required to access the material via Blackboard in advance of the class and practicals to encourage active learning. Group and peer learning will be facilitated during the preparation of assignments, presentations and practicals. Any course-related issue or questions that may arise will be discussed at lectures. Course lecture summaries, course calendar, announcements and other course-related material will be available on Blackboard, a virtual learning environment. Class demonstrations will illustrate the key concepts of the course and will be available throughout the year. Digital resources such as youtube and the National Digital Learning Repository will be used as practicable. The practical component will allow students to develop the required technical competencies, attitudes and behaviours; develop problem solving abilities and group skills.
