Programme Design and Teaching-Learning Methods
Information on Benchmarked Standards
2.2.1
Describe the processes, procedures, and mechanisms for curriculum development. How are
the academic and administrative staffs involved in this process?
The curriculum development process can be divided into five main steps:
1) Needs assessment.
2) The planning session.
3) Content development.
4) Pilot delivery and revision
5) Finalising the completed curriculum package.
The steps are managed and supervised by committees that are composed from experts in the
related domain and supported by the administrative officers of the faculty.
These committees present their output to the faculty for further discussion and endorsement.
After getting the approval of the faculty, the draft will be presented to the Senate committee
of curriculum for further deliberation and endorsement of the Senate. The approved
curriculum will then be submitted to MQA for assessment and recommendation and the
approval of the Minister of Higher Education.
2.2.2
What are the various teaching and learning methods used in curriculum delivery to achieve
the programme learning outcomes? Describe them.
Teaching and learning will be through a mixture of lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical
classes, projects, supervised individual and group written work, and internship. Much of the
teaching materials will be provided in electronic form, with ALIM (Advanced Learning and
Interactive Management System). The student will progress from being guided towards the
relevant material to become more independent as they progressively adapt self-learning and
achieve the program learning outcomes. Electronic and online teaching, learning, and
assessment will be used where practical and appropriate.

Synopsis:
This course discuss on the graphical relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration diagram
inconstant acceleration motion. Standard equation is then used to consider the analytical relationship. It
covers statics, the concept of equilibrium, condition of equilibrium and free body diagram. The force acting
in an object is related to the resulting acceleration hence the motion of the object using Newton’s law.
Friction is also considered bring the analysis close to a realistic one.
