Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy. More information on the timing and type of feedback that will be provided for each assessment will be available from the module leader. <a href='https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations'>https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations</a>

This module will support the development of all the graduate attributes. Your module leader will provide you with information about how your learning, teaching and assessment activities support your development of these attributes. The graduate attributes are: - Always learning - Engaged in the world - Technical and digital - Connected Professional - Creating Impact

Teaching methods will combine lectures on the key topics outlined above with supervised team-based workshops delivered through the TeamQuest framework. TeamQuest is a structured, challenge-based activity designed to develop teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and professional awareness through collaborative tasks and real-world scenarios relevant to engineering practice.
The module will also include career-focused workshops aimed at enhancing students’ employability and job application skills. These sessions will cover key aspects of career development, including CV writing, interview preparation, professional presentations, communication skills, and understanding different engineering career pathways.
Workshops and studio-based sessions will provide guided time for group discussion, team activities, and reflective exercises, supporting the development of effective team working, leadership awareness, and professional confidence.
In addition to scheduled contact time, the module includes online asynchronous learning activities such as pre-recorded lecture videos and guided learning materials. These resources allow students to engage with core concepts at their own pace and will be used to support and prepare students for in-person lectures, TeamQuest activities, and career workshops.
Alongside the taught elements, students will undertake private study. This time will be used for background reading, reflection, preparation for TeamQuest and career activities, completion of coursework, and revision. Key learning and teaching resources will be provided via the module website on the online learning environment, Moodle.
