Accessibility Statement for Core engineering B (T272)
Mode of study
The module uses a mixture of printed and online materials. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio/video clips (all with transcripts/subtitles); diagrams; interactive online activities including the remote OpenEngineering Laboratory; use of industry-standard software; animations; multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms.
Tuition strategy
This module has online tutorials. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.
Working with others
You’ll have the opportunity to work with other students. This could include looking at, and commenting on, others’ work and reflecting on others’ comments on your work.
Practical work
Online laboratory practical work is required to achieve or consolidate your learning. You’ll use the remote OpenEngineering Laboratory. If you have a visual impairment or limited manual dexterity, you may need an assistant to complete this element successfully. Some of the activities are required as part of an assessment, others are optional but will help your learning.
Mathematical and scientific expressions and notations
You’ll be required to use mathematical and scientific symbols and expressions throughout the module and within assessment.
Diagrams and other visual content
The study materials contain a considerable number of diagrams, graphs and photographs. Reading, interpreting, and producing examples of these are an important part of the study of this module, and will form an element of the module assessment. We provide descriptions for most figures.
Finding information
You could be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online, and we might assess this. We can provide alternatives for required/assessed research material if needed to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.
Specialist reading material
In this module, you’ll be working with specialist reading material such as mathematical notation. We’ll present these online and in printed form.
Assessment
This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) that you must submit via the online TMA service, interactive computer-marked assignments and self-assessed assessment-preparation quizzes completed online, and a remote exam.
Feedback
You’ll receive feedback from your tutor on your submitted Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs). This will help you to reflect on your TMA performance. You should refer to it to help you prepare for your next assignment.
Schedule
We structure all University modules to a set timetable and you’ll will need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. We’ll support you in developing these skills.
Specialist software
This module uses specialist symbols – common in engineering – that standard accessibility tools might not cover. The module materials and assessment ask you to use ANSYS FEA software, which is not accessible with screen reader or voice recognition software. Assistance for screen reader users and students unable to use a mouse would therefore be required.
