EGM703 - Structural Dynamics and Stability

EGM703-PRD1-PER-ALV1

The main teaching and learning methods used in this module are lectures, tutorials, and private study, supported by a range of online resources. Lectures are the principal introduction to the new material. They are relatively formal in style and are presented to the whole student group. Full prompt attendance is expected. Tutorial sessions may take place in lectures. 
In addition to the taught elements of the module there will be the need for private study. This time will be spent working on background reading, revision of notes, work on tutorial problems and coursework. Key learning and teaching resources will be put on the module website on the online learning environment “Moodle”.
