9. AN OVERVIEW OF TEACHING, LEARNING & ASSESSMENT

This programme is delivered on a modular basis, with teaching delivered through a variety of methods appropriate to module content, technical requirements and student development. Teaching methods range from lectures and seminars, through group tutorials, to working in small groups in laboratories, including our engine test facility, materials and aerodynamics labs. You will also have open access to our electronic online teaching resources.

You are allocated a personal tutor who will guide you through the programme, support your academic and technical developments, advise you on future career paths and help you to get the most out of your time at Blackpool and the Fylde College.

You will utilise a Personal Professional Development Profile (PPDP) process to monitor and reflect upon your skills development throughout the programme. The PPDP is a planning document that examines your current continuing professional development (CPD) needs, looking at how these might be met and listing objectives for the future. It helps to structure and focus your academic and personal training needs and should address the following points:

Where am I now? Where am I going? How am I going to get there?

On-going development has long been a vital part of the career development of professionals in aerospace engineering and some employers have identified that this approach can be linked in to their own in house CPD. This programme is assessed through a combination of formative and summative assessments via examinations and continuous assessment, in the form of written assignments, laboratory exploration, project work and presentations.

The programme will provide you with the opportunity to become an independent aerospace engineer with a broad base of knowledge of the sector and the skills to perform at a high standard within employment. You will be provided with the opportunity to develop skills of enquiry through analytical research and evaluation tasks which are relevant to aerospace engineering and scaffold from more simple to the complex as you progress through the programme.

Both formative and summative assessments will require you to demonstrate advanced study skills and to use them in the critical analysis and synthesis of information from a variety of sources. Various modes of assessment will be used in different modules to ensure the key aspects of learning are assessed and that you are engaged in different forms of assessment, covering their diversity of preferred learning approaches and relevant to the Aerospace engineering discipline.

You will experience a range of formative assessment activities which will provide feedback and feed forward opportunities which will support the development of your confidence, knowledge, skill and aptitudes for learning. Formative assessments will include self and peer assessment, short written and verbal tasks, group work, practical observations and question and answer activities both simple and more complex. Formative assessment is characterised by dialogue discussion and an open and transparent approach to development.

You will be assessed by examination and coursework consisting of case studies, reports or presentations, or a combination of all three, depending on the unique nature of the module being delivered. Coursework assessments totaling 4000 words or equivalent (excluding the dissertation) will be carried out per module.

Flexible and Blended Learning Development The diverse nature of the aerospace industry in relation to location and accessibility which includes ‘Through life service of aircraft’ requires aerospace engineers to spend extended periods of time on RAF bases in the UK and beyond. This necessitates a flexible delivery approach that will accommodate this work practice. The standard virtual learning approach has been enhanced through the advantages of WEB2.0 technologies to provide an equivalence of delivery practice for all students participating on the programme. This approach is fully integrated into all learning activities to ensure students have 24/7 access to learning, tutorial support, group discussion and interaction, assessment development and completion. The blended teaching approach ensures full parity with that of the classroom experience and accommodates the diverse work schedules of aerospace engineering students through the use of online social spaces like Google+ Hangout. These sessions are formed as semi- structured discussions to allow for the co-construction of meaning guided by the lecturer. Students are requested to attend a formal class/ tutorial face to face at least once per month to ensure learning is consolidated and understanding is fully explored through discussion and debate. The blended learning approach for the FD BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering will be implemented in accordance with the Project Management Blended model as used successfully with BAE students for the past three years. The Project Management team are notably integrated into the Aerospace Engineering team, providing module support, module delivery, industry knowledge, corporate interface and blended learning leadership and governance. One-to-one tutorials will be given via online social learning platforms such as Google+ Hangout to ensure the students and lecturer can gauge their progress both on the course and connected to their PPDP targets. The students will also receive details for Higher Education Learning Mentors (HELM)s support should they wish to seek assistance with referencing, proof-reading and other academic literacy skills.

10. INTEGRATION OF WORK BASED LEARNING

Work based learning is heavily integrated into the FDEng Aerospace Engineering programme, promoting and emphasising the professional ethics and technical ability of an aerospace engineer across a broad and complex spectrum of systems, processes and techniques. You will be entering this foundation degree either: fully employed with a relevant aerospace employer, or, ready to carry out a work placement within an aerospace company whilst on programme (at the desired time within the level 5 delivery window).

You will be required to complete the Engineering Management in the Work Place module. This module will provide you with the opportunity to contextualise your studies and significantly reflect on your developments in a work based environment, triangulating your knowledge through the context of the workplace and interface with professional engineers.

If you do not already have a work placement upon commencement of the programme, you will be encouraged to approach relevant employers to gain one prior to commencement of level 5 study. Your tutors will guide and support you through the process via focussed tutorial sessions and one-to-one support. Module leaders will give guidance throughout the course as to the most appropriate work experience required during any period of study, engaging with the employer to ensure the work environment synergises with the module content, curriculum delivery and assessment. The College’s work placement strategy ensures that your work placement is appropriately managed and co-ordinated to ensure appropriate support is provided to develop your key personal, technical and professional attitudes and competencies.
