  1. Diploma in Engineering Bill Sutton Diploma Project Manager – SEMTA Sector Skills Agreement Implementation Team www.engineeringdiploma.com

  2. Development Process – activity completed • Engineering Diploma Development Partnership comprising the 6 engineering SSCs delivered the Engineering Diploma Statement of Content in June 06 • Involving Extensive employer and stakeholder consultation • Awarding Bodies developed the Principle Learning Qualification Specifications

  3. Development Process – Current Activity • Supporting employers to prepare for delivery • Supporting Consortia to prepare for delivery • Working with Awarding Bodies on new content for Specialist Learning • Continuing liaison with Higher Education Institutions

  4. Who’s been consulted?

  5. Who’s been consulted?

  6. Who’s been consulted?

  7. Applied Learning … ‘academic concepts and theories - applying them to engineering contexts and businesses’ Why is the diploma different?

  8. ‘a rigorous future orientated programme that offers the leading edge thinking from across the engineering sector’ Engineering Diploma - vision

  9. Engineering’s contribution to the world we live in - relationships between social organisation and technological development Three key elements to engineering: people processes systems Features: Creative and Innovative thinking Maths and Science Problem solving Communication Technology Health and Safety Diploma Content: a holistic approach

  10. Innovation – a key concept Why? IDEAS GENERATION The successful exploitation of new ideas… What? How? Do! APPLICATION

  11. Innovation concepts will be embedded: • in the diploma curriculum • in the school/provider culture And thereby…. • adding value to business engagement Embedded in provider’s culture Embedded throughout the curriculum Adding value to business engagement

  12. The Engineered World; Theme A Important developments that have furthered human progress Discovering Engineering; Theme B Understanding the processes of engineering development Engineering the Future; Theme C Future issues and developments for engineering Analytical Methods for Engineering; Theme D (Level 3 only). Mathematical Techniques, Scientific Principles and Applications for Engineers Engineering Diploma Structure

  13. Principal Learning Component A B C D Advanced 540glh Design Higher 420glh Maintain Make Foundation 240glh

  14. Overall Structure

  15. Advanced Level – 1080 GLH

  16. Provide a gateway to the different sectors of engineering and the underlying processes, systems and structures Provide learners with increasingly rigorous programme of study to enable progression Provide learners with some degree of engineering specialism appropriate to cross sector needs Higher Level Purpose and Aims

  17. Build upon the Higher Level content – further develop interest and deeper understanding of underlying processes, systems and structures Captivate and excite learner with challenging and interesting content through an extended project Prepare learners for employment/training at 18-19 (trainee or management training scheme) Provide learners with academically rigorous study sufficient for H E progression Provide learners with sub sector specific pathways for specialism appropriate to employer/sector needs Advanced Level - Purpose and Aims
