Context: Structures 3 is a challenging module for the (approximately 120) students enrolled in it each year. The mathematical and structural engineering concepts are essential in professional practice. Successful mastery of these concepts has employability implications as well as degree outcomes because these are skills which can, and traditionally have, been tested at job interview. Rationale: The students’ persistently poor grasp of the underpinning concepts of the calculation of bending moment and shear force in simple beams and columns is hindering their studies at the higher levels Changes for 2012-13: • Introduction of 10% coursework element • Combination of Class Tests, Submission and Peer Review • Use of computer packages to aid understanding • (Robot Structural Analysis, Lusas, QSE) • Template for answering questions
Recommendations for 2013-14 • Class Test Day 1 • Coursework completed over shorter time • Peer review marking of coursework with ‘perfect’ solutions provided • TurnItIn paintbrush/stylus required • Class Test Week 10
