Blended The MIT Graduate Capabilities (GC) are as follows. The level to which each is achieved is indicated in brackets. Zero indicates that the GC is not targeted in this course. a) Motivation (2) b) Ethical Behaviour (0) c) Critical thinking (2) d) Problem solving (2)

LO1 Use a modern IDE for program development LO2 Evaluate and use software development tools and techniques.. LO3 Develop a software solution for an engineering application using software programming techniques. 7. Program constructs are identified in existing design documents Software design documents for an engineering application are created from written specifications Software development tools and techniques Interactive lectures introduce key theoretical knowledge, and interactive and practical elements to reinforce the abstract knowledge learnt. Lectures will include staff demonstrating and student practising industry standard programming practice. Formative assessments Feedback is continuous throughout the course with on-line interactive test questions on the LMS, group activities and lab progress feedback. This facilitates the opportunity for Recommended textbook: Programming in Visual C# 2008 (3rd edition). Bradley and Millspaugh ISBN The C# text has an excellent website students can make use of. It contains an online quiz generator. In addition

3 are evaluated and used to produce a software application to a given specification in accordance with industry practice Develop a software solution for an engineering application using software programming techniques Variables, constants, decisions and conditions are covered in an engineering context. Interactive blended delivery is the key learning method. Students design, produce and test software solutions using software programming techniques introduced during the interactive lectures. Problem based learning is a key teaching strategy, where students are given structured problems / tasks to solve, and through which they intrinsically develop knowledge, skills and professional attitudes. The LMS functions as the home page of the course. It is used as a source of information and news, for revision, for both formative and summative exercises, and other on-line activities. A wide range of resource material is uploaded for use by the students. The LMS is used as an assessment tool and to promote and reinforce question and answer dialogue (both staffstudent and studentstudent). It also provides constructive feedback on an ongoing basis. The online assessment tool Exam Manager enables staff to conduct modern computerbased assessments, simplifies marking, provides excellent student feedback features and detailed analysis of student results. It is used for both formative and summative assessments. Summative assessments will be carried out as follows: Test 25% LO1, LO2, LO3 This will be online and the instructor is provided with Power Point slides and worked solutions to half of the exercises set in the text. on_center_view0/ Or Microchip range of programming epub &.pdf documents There are a wide range of programming reference documents available on the Internet students will be encouraged to develop critical search methods as an integral part of the blended learning delivery process.

Laboratory (Practical) 25% LO1, LO2, LO3 This could include regular assessed practical tasks and/or project which will demonstrate industry standard programming practice to develop software solutions. Examination 50% LO1, LO 2, LO3 Exam will be carried out online and will allow use of the IDE and other approved material. It will cover the theory of using software tools to develop and evaluate applications. All software is freely available for students to install on their own computers for self directed study student laptop s may also be used in class. Microsoft Visual Studio Or Microchip MPLab
