Reference EN5602 Version 2
Created August 2021 SCQF Level SCQF 11
Approved March 2018 SCQF Points 30
Amended August 2021 ECTS Points 15

Aims of Module
To provide the student with further experience of a real-world work environment and reflect on their development as professional engineers.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Demonstrate initiative and professional skills in the following areas: project planning, teamworking, biomedical technology related innovation, professional and personal development, communication and staff relations.
2 Appraise and evaluate his/her own strengths and weaknesses as a potential Chartered Engineer/BioEngineering Manager, and take action to formulate a plan for future success.
3 Apply and integrate, in the workplace, the Engineering and Management theories, models, concepts, principles and medical device regulatory quality knowledge acquired in his/her academic studies to provide biomedical technology related solution.
4 Report on the impact of their University project on their industrial host, in terms of its relevance, applicability and measured outcomes.
5 Report on the nature and effectiveness of their personal contribution over the placement period.

Indicative Module Content
The content of the industrial placement will vary. The student will produce an agreed learning contract with the host organisation and devise a programme which will enable the learning outcomes specified above to be achieved. An important aspect of this phase of the placement is the potential or actual application, within an industrial environment, of hardware, software or biomedical technology based systems which have been researched within the student's University-based project.

Module Delivery
Delivery is by means of on-the-job training. He/she will be required to liaise with University staff, so that progress can be monitored, with particular emphasis on the industrial impact of University-derived transferable skills, particularly those related to the project. In addition, the student may be required to attend specific staff development workshops as designated by the host organisation.
