9. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams.10. Communicate effectively on broadly-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and with

society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, makeeffective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

11. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply these to one’s ownwork, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.

12. Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in specialisttechnologies.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology are internationally employable in one of the pathways of Engineering practice. Graduates may also follow a number of paths in research and development, technical support and application, education and communication, sales, quality and general management, or technocratic roles in local authorities and government. They will be employed for their ability to assess, select and apply generic and specific engineering technology in their practice area, and for ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. Graduates from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology could progress to a four year Bachelor of Engineering (BE) or other relevant level 7 qualifications such as graduate diplomas, and to post graduate study in Engineering and related areas.

Teaching and Learning Methods The programme is offered using mixed modes of delivery as follows:

• Face-to-face delivery: This may occur on campus in lecture theatre or classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated environment, or may involve visits to industry based environments where appropriate.

• Industry Practicum: The programme may include integrated industry learning experiences.

• Flexible ‘blended’ delivery: This may include on-site component as well as block courses, drop in sessions, distance delivery supported by a range of current technologies.

Integrated Practical, Field-based and Industry-based Components

Learning Activities Developing Applied Practice A Project Based Learning (PBL) approach will enable graduates to be work–ready through the use of real world examples that require a problem solving approach. The programme will include learning activities designed to replicate the ongoing professional career development of an engineering technologist through application of knowledge to authentic tasks. This aligns with the IPENZ specification for the initial education of an engineering technologist and will be applied as appropriate across all courses. Activities will include interactions with IPENZ practising engineering professionals, industry and other agencies employing engineering technology professionals. PBL will be scaffolded throughout the three years of the degree culminating in the compulsory Level 7 course Engineering Development Project. The assessment activity for this course is a research and/or design project requiring the learner to integrate theory with practical application using problem solving skills in an engineering technology and industry environment. The learner may interact with members of staff in an industry environment in the role of client, supervisor and advisor. They will also be supported by an academic staff member in the role of academic advisor. This integration of academic content with the industry environment ensures graduates have the capacity to enter employed industry practice and begin the ongoing process of applying and extending their skills and knowledge leading to professional competency.

Assessments The Bachelor of Engineering Technology assesses learning using an achievement-based methodology. The programme includes a variety of assessments to test engineering technology knowledge and application as follows:

• The programme will use a variety of assessment activities to generate an indication of the developing attributes of the engineering technology graduate. These will include “realworld” activities such as analysis of a case study, review of an article, production of a laboratory report, keeping a journal, preparing a portfolio, completing a project, reflections on practice, and many others. The Level 7 course Engineering Development Project has much of the assessment using close links with industry.

• Formal open book examination when the intention is to assess applied engineering technology knowledge. Students may be given the nature of the assessment activity in advance of the examination and the opportunity to select the appropriate “engineering technology knowledge tools” to bring to an examination room.

• Formal closed book examination when the main intention is to assess engineering technology knowledge. The programme recognises the value of formal examinations as a means of determining individual student learning.

Information on the assessment policies and procedures can be found in the Student Guide

Progress through Programme To complete the programme takes 3 years of full time study. It may also be studied part-time. The maximum number of years for completion will be ten (10) years from the date of first enrolment with any provider. Learner progression must comply with the pre- and co-requisites for each course.

Timetable Online timetables can be found here

Tips for success Keep in touch. If you think you are going to struggle with something or you feel you are struggling please ask for help as soon as possible. Do not leave it until you feel like your only option is to stop coming to class or withdraw from the course or programme. Your tutor wants you to succeed, so please don’t be afraid to talk to them we have lots of support options to help you succeed.

Attendance matters. History shows that the chance of passing a course is much higher if you come to all the timetabled classes.

Ask questions, there are no “dumb” questions. Rest assured there will be at least three other people in the class thinking “good question” when you ask it, but don’t wait for them to pluck up the courage, take the lead.

What You Need Laptop with the following specifications for:

• Operating Systems: On request, we can provide suggestions on where to look for detailed guidance on hardware requirements to run CAD drawing packages. There is lots of information on the internet about suitable minimum specification hardware to run various CAD packages. Two common CAD packages extensively used in the WelTec engineering school are;

• SolidWorks • AutoCAD

To some extent the minimum specification depends on the engineering major being studied.
