6 13. Programme structures and requirements, levels, modules, credits and awards

The BEng programme is studied over three years full-time with an additional industrial placement year for the Year in Industry variant. The MEng programme is studied over four years full-time with an additional placement year for the Year in Industry variant. Study on the programme is divided into a number of blocks called modules. All modules have a credit value of 15 credits, apart from the final year project which is equivalent to 45 credits. Each 15-credit module represents approximately 150 hours of student learning, endeavour and assessment.

The BEng programme is divided into three stages for the 3 year programme and fours stages for the Year in Industry variant. The MEng programme is divided into four stages for the 4 year programme, and five stages for the Year in Industry variant. Each stage is comprised of 120 credits and students must achieve specified requirements before being permitted to proceed to the next stage. Each stage represents an academic year of study. Thus, each year of study involves approximately 1200 hours of learning time. Each module is designated at one of four ascending levels, Certificate (C), Intermediate (I), Honours (H) or Masters (M).

To be eligible for the award of an honours degree students on the three year programme must normally have to obtain 360 credits, at least 210 of which must be Level I or above, and at least 90 of which must be level H or above. To be eligible for the award of an honours degree on the Year in Industry variant, students normally have to obtain 480 credits, at least 330 of which must be Level I or above, and at least 90 of which must be level H or above. A degree without honours will be awarded where students achieve 300 credits with at least 150 credits at level I or above including at least 60 credits at level H or above. Students may not progress to the non- honours degree programme; the non-honours degree programme will be awarded as a fallback award only. For the MEng, students must gain credit for all Stage 4 modules, in addition to the requirements specified for the corresponding BEng (3 year or Year in Industry) honours degree programmes.

For the purposes of Honours classification, the weightings of the stages are: H618 Year 2 40%, Year 3 60% H615 Year 2 36%, Industrial Placement 10%, Year 4 54% MEng: Year 2 20%, Year 3 30%, Year 4 50% MEng (with Year in Industry): Year 2 18%, Industrial Placement 5%, Year 4 27%, Year 5 50%

At its discretion the University allows for narrow failure in a small proportion of modules to be compensated by good performance in other modules or, in cases of documented illness or other mitigating circumstances, condoned. Compensation and condonment of modules is limited to 15 credits per stage in line with IET accreditation requirements. Failure in certain modules, however, may not be compensated and/or condoned, as indicated by the symbol * below. Usually, no modules at any stage of the programme can be trailed. The programme detailed below is subject to change. Please check stage handbooks for details of pre-requisites and co- requisites for modules.

Students successfully completing Stage 1 of the programme and meeting credit framework requirements who do not successfully complete Stage 2 will be eligible for the award of the Certificate in Computer Systems Engineering. Students successfully completing Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the programme and meeting credit framework requirements who do not successfully complete Stage 3 will be eligible for the award of the Diploma in Computer Systems

7 Engineering. . Students completing Stage 3, with an overall mark of 55% can transfer to/remain on the MEng programme. Students on the MEng programme failing to meet this requirement can be awarded the BEng degree if they have met the outcomes necessary for that programme.

14. Support for Students and Their Learning  Induction programme for new students consisting of: tour of the Department; talks about the course; introduction to the Library and computing facilities; meeting with personal tutors to discuss the arrangements, timetable and answer any questions; reception for staff and students to meet socially. . Course Handbook with details of all the courses, modules, lecture syllabi, and comprehensive study information. . Health and Safety booklet given at the beginning of each academic year. . Library skills package given at the beginning of each academic year. Also, various free courses are given on usage of Library resources, including Internet based catalogue system of the large collection of books and journals, usage of networked CD-ROMs, and access to the Internet. The annual Electronics Library fund is about £60,000, i.e. about £180 per student. . Student: staff ratio of 17.22. . Learning resources include computing and multimedia facilities, lecture and seminar rooms and experimental laboratories all within the Electronics building and on the campus. Many of these rooms contain audio-visual equipment and computer projectors. . Academic support includes personal tutor system and departmental administration. Each student has a personal tutor who has responsibility for his/her pastoral care. Students have compulsory meetings with their tutors at least once a term. Tutors make time throughout the term for students who need advise, either personal or academic. . Central support services includes: confidential Counselling Service, Medical Centre, college Sick Bays, Faculty Concessions Committee, Hardship Fund, Careers Advisory Service, Disability Officer, and Educational Support Services. The latter offer various evening courses on study, revision and examination techniques, time management, remedial Mathematics, etc. . University and Electronics web pages with comprehensive information regarding all aspects of studies at Kent. Also various newsgroups.  Electronics Intranet with full module information, timetables, lecture notes etc.  Support for Students on Placement Support for the placement year commences early in Stage 2 with a briefing from the academic supervisor as to what students should expect during their placement year including the application process, the University support provided during the placement year and the range of work students are likely to undertake. Students are then supplied with details of placement opportunities as they become available. Students applying are given assistance and advice on the preparation of their CV, their application letters, and interview techniques.

Prospective employers attend a Student Placement briefing session so that they understand what to expect and what is required in terms of safety, induction and supervision. They also have the opportunity to meet the academic and administrative support staff who will be involved.

9 When students start their placement year they are given a Placement Year Handbook which includes:

 Induction Checklist  Contact details form  Health and Safety Checklist (which must be signed by the employer)  Final Report guidelines  Year in Industry Performance Evaluation form (completed by student and employer)

In addition the employer receives a letter explaining the 3-way relationship between the student, the employer and the University.

During the placement year the student is kept up to date with course developments via email. Each student is visited twice by the academic and administrative support staff who meet with the student and his/her line manager to discuss any problems, progress to date and any action points for the future. Notes of these meetings are produced and agreed by all parties. The first visit takes place approximately 8 weeks after the start date and the second visit occurs towards the end of the placement. The aim of the first visit is to check that induction and safety briefings have taken place, to ensure the student is keeping a satisfactory log and to iron out any initial difficulties. The aim of the second meeting is to ensure that the student is preparing the final report and that matters such as commercial confidentiality have been addressed. It is also an opportunity for the employer to comment on the preparedness of the student for his/her placement year and in light of this to suggest improvements on the material covered during Stage 1 and 2 of the degree program.
