Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Acquisition of knowledge and skills is achieved through a broad range of teaching methods including lectures, tutorials, practical sessions, laboratory work, 'real-world' business issue and international and national case studies. Intellectual skills are developed through practical (case study or 'real world') project work, tutorial work and coursework assignments. Open ended practical and project work is designed to permit students to demonstrate achievement of all learning outcomes. Practical skills are developed in a co-ordinated and progressive manner throughout the three levels of the programme. In the lower levels attention is focused on the acquisition of basic skills, whilst at the higher levels more advanced are introduced. Transferable skills are generally incorporated within modules and related to relevant assessments as appropriate. Assessment methods are specified in each module handbook but include unseen examination, coursework assignments, portfolios and presentations. In the final year, students prepare a project / dissertation report. Throughout, the learner is encouraged to undertake independent reading both to supplement and consolidate what is being taught / learnt and to broaden their individual knowledge and understanding of the subject.

Opportunities for work related learning

6601TECYPC - Technology Management Project involves work-based and work-related learning where the students are required to identify an organisation and demonstrate what they have studied by applying their knowledge in real business situation comprising what they studied in management, technical scientific principles, research, develop, organise and coordinate resources for problem solving and decision making within the identified organisation. Additionally, all modules are industry focussed and the needs of industry are paramount in ensuring the continued good employability of the graduates. One particularly good example is from IBM in Malaysia, where a significant proportion of the graduates have successfully gained employment after graduation. The views of companies such as IBM are important in curriculum design and of ensuring continued currency of the programme. With these aspects in mind, a programme of key industrial guest lectures will enhance the programme's delivery and relevance. Work related learning needs to be a key element of this programme based on feedback from industrialists and academics. There is no placement period allowed for in this proposal and WRL will be included through industrial input into work simulation projects especially the Technology Management Project. This will include the use of industry generated case study material and industry speakers and the use of case studies as the basis for a significant amount of the assignment work.
