Overview

Pearson BTEC Level 3 90-credit Diploma in Engineering is designed to provide a highly specialist, work-related qualififcation in a range of vocational sectors. It gives learners the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to prepare for empolyment. The qualification accredits the achievement for courses and programmes of study for full-time or part-time learners in the college. The qualififcation provides career development opportunities for those already in work, and progression opportunities to higher education, degree and professional development programmes within the same or related areas of study, within universitives and other institutions.


Learning Objectives

To allow learners to develop the core specialist knowledge, understanding, including Health and Safety in the Engineering Workplace and a choice of either Mechanical Principles and Applications or Electrical and Electronic Princples, required by the sector;

To allow learners to develop practical and technical skills in mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, required by the secotr;

To encourage learners to consider personal development for occupational roles;

To allow learners to apply generic skills such as communication skill, problem solving skill, and teamwork;

To help people to become occupationally ready to take up empolyment in the Engineering sector at the appropriate level.


Programme Structure

This programme consist of 9 modules at 10 credits per modules


Attendance Requirements

International Students (ICA student pass holder) must attend a minimum of 90% of scheduled course at all time. A minimum attendance of 75% must be achieved for local students (Singaporean, PR, Empolyment Pass, SPass and work permit holders etc.) who are not holding student pass. Students whose attendance is below 90% (ICA Student Pass holder) and 75% (local students) are not eligible to submit the assignement or sit for the examination.

A student who is absent or considered to be absent from class/session, must provide documentary proof i.e. Original Medical Certificate issued by a General Practitioner, Polyclinic or Hospital to his/her Course Administrator immediately on his/her return to school.


Graduation Requirements and Progression

Students are required to pass 9 modules/units of Perason BTEC Level 3 90-credit Diploma in Engineering. Successful students can progress into the first year of Perason BTEC Level Diploma at TEG International College.


Teaching and Learning Methods

Delivery of the module/unit will be through a blend of lectures, tutorials, Lab and workshops. Lectures are a major part of the teaching strategy for the programme. Case studies are a teaching and learning strategy, which are empolyed in a range of modules: they are a useful assessment tool. Students are presented with real or simulated complex problems which they are required to analyse in detail and then synthesise/present their own solution in writing or orally.

Students are expected to take greater responsibility for their own learning as they progress through their programmes. The student-centred approach will be encouraged through the use of specific teaching strategies; case studies; projects and practical exercises, supplemented by the use of appropriate support materials; etc. Active engagement with the subject material enhances learning and may of the learning strategies used attempt to promote this.
