Description - summary of the module content
Module description
This module aims to immerse you in mew technologies including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning and 3D modelling software. You will learn through industry on-site activities , team collaboration, engineering design activities and innovation workshops with inspirational entrepreneurs and chartered engineers.
Module aims - intentions of the module
The purpose of this module is to develop an appreciation of advanced technologies and the ability to investigate innovative applications to sell to clients. You will develop some incredible entrepreneurial skills through experiential learning including core subject knowledge, competencies and character qualities that will enhance your ability to solve problems, create opportunities and help you succeed in your chosen career or to set up your own company. Deliverables for the project encourage you to hone your professional and personal skills in project management, self promotion, research and development, collaboration and pitching services/products to potential clients through multimedia platforms.

Re-assessment notes
If a module is normally assessed entirely by coursework, all referred/deferred assessments will normally be by assignment.
If a module is normally assessed by examination or examination plus coursework, referred and deferred assessment will normally be by examination. For referrals, only the examination will count, a mark of 40% being awarded if the examination is passed. For deferrals, candidates will be awarded the higher of the deferred examination mark or the deferred examination mark combined with the original coursework mark.
