Exams can be held anytime, at an appointed venue i.e. there is no set time limit between starting a module and sitting the exam.

When the candidate is ready to take the exam an invigilator must be appointed on their behalf. The ‘Invigilator’ may be a Training Manager, OIM or Senior Manager. The invigilator must be responsible for the receipt of the exam papers, security of the papers, invigilation of the exams and return of papers.

Once appointed, the exam papers will be sent to the invigilator.  Included with the papers will be an invigilation form for signature of the invigilator and rules and procedures for the exam. If, however, you do not wish to sit the exam at your workplace, you may sit the exam, at our offices in Glasgow. If this is not possible, then we suggest you contact your local college or learning centre to arrange to sit the exam on their premises. These arrangements must be made by the candidate. Some colleges may charge an invigilation and room hire fee which the candidate will be responsible for.

The examination is a two hour closed book written exam. Section A comprises of 20 short answer questions similar to the Test Yourself section in the workbooks. Section B comprises of three questions of which two must be answered – these require good, neat, correctly labelled drawings and a good descriptor. All questions in the paper relate to the information given in the workbooks.

Pass Marks: 60% -74% = Pass, 75% -84% = Credit, 85%- 100% = Distinction

Test yourself questions are available in the workbooks to help you prepare for your exams.

If you do not achieve the required pass mark (60%) in your module exam you will be able to re-sit your exam at no extra cost. However you will only receive a pass grade in your re-sit irrespective of your result.

Should you require to re-sit the same module exam more than once there will be an examination fee of £30.00

Level 3

Study Skills for Distance Learners The module provides students with a structured framework within which to develop the essential skills for distance learning. You will be encouraged to take personal control of your learning and to balance the freedoms and disciplines inherent in a distance learning environment. Using models of theory and practice embellished by your personal experience, you will develop your ability to self-motivate, manage your own studies and reflect on how you learn. You will evaluate theories and practical models to challenge and to expand on received wisdoms to support both your academic and practical development.

Integrating Professional Engineering Experience Reflection as a technique for aiding and reinforcing learning is a powerful tool in professional development and a wide range of learning environments. Reflective practice is about learning and developing, through examining what we think happened on any occasion and how we think others perceived the event. The manager must open their professional practice to the scrutiny of others, becoming a more effective manager as a result. At an organisational level critical reflection is the basis for maintaining the appropriate alignment of an organisation and forms the basis for strategic planning and organisational change.

This module will provide you with a structured framework within which to reflect on experiences during previous formal managerial training or within past and present Engineering working environments. You will be encouraged to develop your own abilities to practice reflection in the practical arena by critically evaluating your own ideas against academic theories and models, challenging and expanding your own individual management skills. You will facilitate this process through the production of a personal Learning Log, individual reading and study, and face-to-face or online discussion with your tutor.

Management of Change This module aims to enable you to develop your workplace skills in the management of change by investigating your own organisation in relation to change management from a number of perspectives. You will consider your organisation’s business and market position— how it is structured and how it operates—to understand the context within which change happens. You will consider how organisational structure and culture may support or inhibit change as well as evaluating management of change theoretical models. You will also explore the impact of change on people and the skills needed by effective change agents and organisations.

Upon completion of the module, you will be able to use your learning to inform a study of change management in your organisation and to make recommendations about change strategies for the future.

Applied Problem Solving in the Engineering Workplace You will look at some more unusual approaches to the solving of complex problems and at techniques used outside your own organisation and experience in this module. At an early stage you select a complex problem in your workplace to study throughout the unit and you will be expected to develop, integrate and apply your learning, ideas and techniques in a real practical context.

The module aims to provide students with: •An understanding of the nature of complex problems, including problems with unknown or unpredictable features •A range of advanced skills that will equip you to solve complex problems in the workplace •Experience of applied complex problem solving in the workplace.

Dissertation The dissertation provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your capacity to work independently on a major piece of research and to utilise and build on skills and subject expertise developed in the promotion of your professional and personal skills. You will demonstrate your ability to analyse problems and to apply appropriate professional and self-developmental skills.

You will work with your tutor to research, develop and present your study for assessment following the agreed formats prescribed by the University.
