Key Transferable Skills: Learners will develop a range of transferable skills covering analysis of information, problem solving, effective communication, formulate arguments, apply themselves within a business context in a socially valuable way. By the end of this level of this programme the students will be able to demonstrate for a threshold pass: Learners will demonstrate the ability to exercise personal and professional responsibility, conducting high level analysis of designs that are business costed and sustainable. Primary: Lectures, tutorials, Secondary/Supplementary: Peer feedback 4 3 Formative basic skills testing, research skills, class discussion. Coursework producing engineering designs and analysis. (CORC 1202) Coursework developing production plans and materials testing. (FENG 137) Coursework conducting personal skills audit and reflection on team task. (CORC 1013) Examination on materials analysis and selection. (FENG 137) (CORC 1202) (FENG 137) (CORC 1013) An explanation for embedding Key Transferable Skills through Teaching & Learning and Assessment at this level of the programme: At level 4 key transferable skills through learners taking responsibility for managing the process of developing solutions that require subsequent analysis and evaluation. The teaching focuses on presentations of case studies or group tasks that require learners to collectively engage with in order that complete solutions are delivered. During this process learners develop personal strategies for ensuring their decisions and actions have both currency and merit. Employment Related Skills: Learners will develop a range of employment
