Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The written examination will assess the breadth of knowledge, understanding and ability to perform techno-economic calculation and cost estimations to assess the viability of new marine projects (IKO1-IKO3; C2, C4, C7, C15). In doing so the examination assesses literacy, numeracy and active learning. This medium also allows students to demonstrate the intended outcomes across a wide range of topics from the lecture series and background reading on current trends in design research and development in the marine field.
The computer assessment will assess the training conducted for modern professional work regulations in terms of EDI and GDPR. This is to assess the professional working ability in the marine industry (IKO2; C2, C4, C5).
