Learners will develop a range of employment related skills that enable them to analyse engineering problems and develop appropriate solutions and communicate to a non-technical audience. At level 5 learners will have a range of employment skills gained through a work placement. By the end of this level of this programme students will be able to demonstrate for a threshold pass Learners will be the able to demonstrate that they can evaluate solutions and make decisions on the basis of cost, sustainability and social value. At level 5 learners must demonstrate work readiness and professional attitudes. Primary: Lectures, tutorials, work placements Secondary/Supplementary: Tutor, peer and employer feedback 4 & 5 2, 3 & 4 Formative case study analysis. Dissertation (CORC222 (CORC2222) An explanation for embedding Employment Related Skills through Teaching & Learning and Assessment at this level of the programme: The employment related skills discussed here are embedded throughout the curriculum, providing learners with the opportunity to make themselves more effective as future employees. At level 5 learners independently conduct research in an area of their choosing and present finds to tutors, peers and employers. Practical Skills: Learners will be able to successfully and professionally apply the practical skills they have acquired during the course in the workplace. By the end of this level of this programme the students will be able to demonstrate for a threshold pass: Learners must demonstrate they can successfully use a wide range of engineering design and analysis skills to solve engineering problems and develop solutions which are then manage the subsequent implementation in specified timeframes. Primary: Lectures, tutorials, workshops Secondary/Supplementary: Independent study, work placement 3, 4 & 5 2 & 3 Coursework project plan for an engineering project (CORC 2203) Research report (CORC2222) (CORC 2203) (corc2222)
