  1. A GRADUATE CAPABILITY-FOCUSED TOP DOWN APPROACH FOR DEVELOPING THIRD LEVEL PROGRAMMES Professor Saleem Hashmi School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Dublin City University, Ireland 9th September, 2008

  2. Engineering Programmes are developed to cater for the needs of industry and enterprise. As such, it is vital that engineering programmes produce graduates with appropriate technical and professional attributes that industry needs. 9th September, 2008

  3. Outcome based Programme Design Programme produces graduates with prescribed attributes (Programme Learning Outcomes). 9th September, 2008

  4. Concept of Learning Outcomes (LOs) In short LOs are the ability to perform some task or gain enabling knowledge base. 9th September, 2008

  5. Top Down Programme Development Step 1: Defining Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO) based on core competences. Each core competence usually comprises of one or more Programme Learning Outcomes.

  6. Top Down Programme Development Step 2: Identifying Specific Competences and to identify supporting knowledge base for the Essential modules. The corresponding modules and their learning outcomes are then identified relatively easily.

  7. Top Down Programme Development Remaining peripheral knowledge base which prepare engineers for the society, business, ethics and environment are then selected as appropriate.

  8. Example of Module Learning Outcomes • Module: CAD/CAM • LOs: Able to produce detail drawing of parts/components using CAD facilities -Able to select appropriate materials. -Able to generate codes and communicate CAD files to CNC machine for producing the parts/components. -Able to estimate the production cost of the part. - -

  9. A typical Programme Development diagram can be depicted in three stages ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE BASE SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES CORE Capabilities

  10. Computer Aided Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (CAMME)

  26. Top Down Planning Exercise for the delegates I am now proposing that all the delegates take part in an exercise to produce Top Down planning of one of the degree Programmes listed in the following slide

  27. Top Down Planning Exercise for the delegates Choice of degree Programmes: • BEng in Sports Engineering and Technology • BSc in Engineering and Marketing • BA in Nationalism, International Relations and Peace Studies • MA in Human Sexuality Studies 9th September, 2008

  28. Top Down Course Planning Work Sheet Choice of degree Programmes: • Select Degree: • Core capability (Maximum 20 words): • Specific capabilities (up to 10): • Essential knowledge base (up to 25 subjects): • Peripheral Knowledge base (up to 5 subjects):
