Assessment
Modules will be assessed by a mixture of closed book examinations written assignments, which could be in form of reports or essays, laboratory experiments Some course will be assessed by means of presentation and written work. The assessments have been designed to develop skills, knowledge and attributes in our students, each module has been mapped to the Greenwich Graduate Attributes (GGA), Knowledge, Intellectual Skills, Subject Practical Skills and Transferable Skills.
The assessment grade will be accumulated through an order of summative and formative assessments, this will enable constructive and developmental feedback to students on a regular basis.
Students must pass each module to get the overall FdEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering qualification at the end of the study programme Feedback: You will receive feedback on formal assessment undertaken by coursework via Moodle.
Feedback is intended to help you learn, and you are encouraged to discuss it with your lecturer. We aim to provide you with feedback within 20 working days from final submission.

Module information
**Year 1
Design and Materials**
The module introduces the methods and practice of engineering design, allowing the student to become acquainted with the basic principles of design and the design process. This will include the important link between design and manufacture. Materials selection, an essential part of the design process, will be facilitated by an understanding of key materials properties, the basis for the selection of materials for a given application.

Engineering Professional Skills 1
The aim of this module is to provide all year-one engineering students with an understanding through practice of the need for a high level of professional and ethical engineering conduct that is mindful of commercial, economic and social contexts.
Engineering Principles
This module aims are to provide students with the pre-requisite knowledge and understanding of the basics of engineering principles and applications prior to following their chosen discipline. The module also aims to provide students with the communication and analytical skills which are required to maximise the benefit from laboratory and project work undertaken throughout the year.
Technology Mathematics
The aims of this Module are to consolidate and extend the student's background knowledge to enable students to appreciate the use of mathematics as an engineering tool. A student’s level of knowledge and competence will be reinforced by applying basic mathematical methods to solve mathematical and engineering problems.
Preparation for Work-Based Learning
The module course will introduce the concept of work-based learning and how to identify, capture and present work-based learning activity for credit at the Higher Education level.
**Year 2
Workplace Based Project**
The project is a culmination of the foundation degree and represents learning and achievement at work. The report must present a workplace project which has the required technical challenge appropriate with his/her programme of study; evidence of the ability to apply knowledge and understanding gained across Modules previously studied on the programme to a challenging, industrially relevant project; evidence of their ability to work on an individual basis, with limited direct supervision; demonstrate the application of problem-solving skills and a reflective approach to developing solutions; to be aware of the Health and Safety regulations relevant to their working environment where appropriate; to be able to carry out a Risk Assessment in relation to the environment and the prevalent working processes where appropriate; relate the work completed to macro-environmental factors which may have impacted the outcome and work itself, where appropriate.
Mathematics for Engineering Systems
This module aims to strengthen and extend students’ mathematical skills, to enable students to appreciate the use of mathematics as an engineering tool and to build up a student’s level of competence in applying mathematical methods to solve engineering problems.
Control and Instrumentation
The aim of this Module is to provide a solid understanding of the analysis and design of feedback control systems employed in a wide range of engineering applications. The Module provides knowledge of the core concepts such as modelling, analysis and simulation of systems using both time domain and frequency domain techniques. In addition, the Module aims to provide an understanding of measurement principles, terminologies and basic operation of commonly used instrumentation systems.
Digital Electonic Systems
To enhance students’ understanding of digital number systems and coding techniques and to introduce Boolean logic and how it can be used to solve real design problems.
Analogue Electronic Systems
The main aim of this Module is to equip students with an understanding and applications of the main components and building blocks of analogue electronic circuits and systems. The Module will cover the current technologies and theories of operation as well as the design of analogue electronic circuits with a focus on practical applications.
Multiple Technology Projects
To promote the ability to work on an independent basis, with limited supervision, whilst fostering problem-solving skills and the ability to integrate material from different subject areas. Additionally, this module aims to enable the students to follow written directions for the construction, testing and use of an engineering product, as well as practising the development of specifications and their subsequent implementation.
Materials 2
The module aims to impart an appreciation of the central place that materials occupy in engineering; after all, engineers make things, and they make them out of materials. An engineer needs to make good choices in his/her selection of materials. To emphasise this, the module will take an applications-driven and design approach through the examination of a range of materials selection case studies and challenges, such as selecting materials for the hot end of a gas turbine engine and preventing failure of aerospace structures. However, it is intended that students also gain an understanding of the complexity of materials and the origin of their properties, to know which material properties are intrinsic and which can be manipulated through manufacturing, processing and heat treatment.

Cost and Loans
You can apply for a student loan for this course. Although we aim to minimise any additional costs to students over and above the course tuition fee, there will be some additional costs which students are expected to meet these include:
Safety equipment Engineering students will be required to purchase safety boots (approx. £25) and the college will provide protective headwear in addition to lab coats and non-prescription safety glasses. You'll be expected to pay for prescription safety glasses (approx. £90+) if you choose to purchase them.
Resources Course texts and other study resources are available from the Drill Hall Library and LSEC Bromley LRC. You may wish to purchase your own copies.
Library Fees and Fines If you fail to return loaned items within the required time you will be responsible for the cost of any fees or fines applicable
Printing and photocopying You also receive an allowance for printing costs, which you can top up if required.
Graduation ceremonies It is free for you to attend the ceremony itself. Guest tickets and robe hire / photography are additional costs payable by you.
Field trips The cost of field trips is activity dependant. Some are free, while others may require a contribution. You are not obliged to pay for field trips in order to complete your course.
