Introduction
Engineering is fundamental to economic and social prosperity, applying scientific
principles creatively, to solve practical problems. A profession that serves the needs
of humanity, it develops and manages our environment in an ethical and sustainable
manner, and improves our way of life. Your studies at Namal or Bradford will be a
foundation for life, aimed at developing an appreciation of engineering principles and
technical competence in their application using a wide range of personal and
professional skills. The ability of an engineer to think clearly and logically is widely
appreciated by many other professions so your studies could also serve as a
stepping-stone to an alternative career in financial services, teaching, law, etc. – a
real foundation for life and for a lifetime of learning.
The College and the University place emphasis on both teaching and research.
Electrical and electronic engineering is the practical and creative application of
electrical science and technology to the solution of problems, and to the design,
development and improvement of products and processes in industry, commerce
and society. This exciting and rapidly developing field will continue to drive the
1
technological revolution of the 21st century. From a heart monitor to a power station;
from satellite systems to the semiconductor chips and applications in your smart
phone, electrical and electronic engineers provide the products, skills, services and
above all, ingenuity, upon which modern life depends.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies
The teaching and learning strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes,
progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student
intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as
you progress through the course. The strategies and methods are as follows:

The teaching and learning methods in the courses are designed to engage you in
developing your knowledge and understanding of the course. They include formal
lectures (including those from visiting lecturers), seminars, case studies, tutorial
exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual work. The
method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and
experimental coursework.

The methods implemented to develop your intellectual skills include engaging
with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration, and
supervised research or project work. Embedded in many modules at all levels is
material to develop your skills and understanding of sustainable development and
the importance of an ethical approach to engineering. You will also learn the skills
associated with designing and executing your own research project in a number
of modules, but particularly in the stage 3 Final Year Project.

The methods implemented to develop your practical skills include demonstrations
and practical classes linked with the taught modules. You will also design and
operate equipment and procedures and use instruments for measurement and
control under supervision during your laboratory and project work. The methods
used to assess practical skills will also provide feedback on laboratory work
linked with the taught modules. In addition, a large part of the mark for the Stage
3 Final Year Project Report will be attributed to experimental method and the
presentation and discussion of results.

The methods implemented in developing your transferable skills are implicit in the
programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from
a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning
facilities available to all students provide the conditions for you to develop and
manage your own learning. The University of Bradford maxim, “Making
Knowledge Work”, is imbedded in the philosophy of this course. The area of
Engineering is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The
methods of assessment of transferable skills are built into the structure of the
examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project
work.
