Critical Cross-Field Outcomes (CCFOs)


The critical outcomes strive to provide the learner with the fundamental analytical and underpinning knowledge and techniques needed to successfully complete scientific and engineering principles modules of engineering degree. This is seen as in line with the educational and social and skill development of individuals who can live up to global and national challenges. These outcomes would include:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Analysing and solving problems using critical and decisive methods for achieving specific goals. Collection and analysis of specific information to achieve certain goals. Be prepared to work in a team environment, which could easily be translated to community involvement. Communicating effectively using, visual, language skills (oral and or written) and electronic media methods. Demonstrating understanding of science in application to technology without any harm to the environment.

Prescribed Reference: Core Notes and Tutorial Questions will be made available. It is your responsibility as a student to get these resources from the Lecturer.

The subject is presented as a series of lectures and tutorial sessions. Students are required to be engaged to do additional self-studies to compliment the efforts of the lecturer and the tutors. Team work is encouraged among the students to facilitate cross-pollination of ideas and therefore ensuring mutual benefits Assessment schedule: Course evaluation is continuous, through formative and summative assessments, comprising evaluations made up as follows:

Assessment

Weighting

Duration

Dates

First Major Individual Assessment (Written Test)

30%

3 hours

to be announced

Continuous Evaluation: Class Tests, Spot Tests

20%

continuous throughout the semester

Second Major Individual Assessment (Written Test)

40%

3 hours

to be announced

Assignments and Tutorials

10%

continuous throughout the semester

Assessment Methods Formative Assessments: Formative on-line tutorials and worksheets will be made available for self-study. Summative Assessments

Continuous Evaluation Written tests and written assignments will count towards the final mark. These assessments will be conducted under formal examination conditions. These evaluations should be an indicator for each individual understanding of outcomes and gauge grasp of specific outcomes.

Written Reports, Practical Exercises and Electronic Presentations All reports will be submitted in a formal format (typed with a standard cover page). Any report not conforming to these requirements will not be considered and a student will receive a zero mark score for that assessment.

Rules and Responsibilities: Students must familiarize themselves with all rules, policies, and responsibilities as outlined in the program guide. Students should read their emails on Google addresses regularly (at least twice in a day, morning and evening) Students must please note that while class attendance is advisable but voluntary, punctuality is compulsory to avoid unnecessary distraction. Noise making in any form (via conversations, cell phones, music, games etc) is totally forbidden. Eating in the classroom during lecture is totally forbidden. Absence from any assessment without a very good reason will result in a zero (0) mark being awarded. Although not encouraged, but if a student has a very good reason for being absent (e.g. sickness) and he/she provides proof (e.g. medical certificate), a substitute test may be considered. Such a proof of absence must be submitted to the subject lecturer by the affected student on the day he/she returns to class. Late and no submissions without acceptable reason will result in a zero (0) mark being awarded.

Requirements for Re-Assessment NB Re-assessment is NOT for students to catch up for assessments not completed during the semester. Re-assessment is NOT for students who have already secured final marks of 50% and above to improve their final marks. The scope of re-assessment is ALL the topics covered during the semester. Re-assessment mark will only replace the mark of the relevant assessment(s) which must be a maximum of 20% weighting. Should the re-assessment enable you to pass, you can only obtain a FINAL MARK of 50%. WIS210S: Work Schedule FINAL MARK of between 45% and 49%. Completion of ALL evaluations (tutorials, class tests, spot tests, etc) given in the entire semester.
