PS14. Work Based/ Related Learning WBL is an essential element of Foundation Degrees and therefore needs to be detailed here. However, for all types of HE Programmes there should be an element of employability focus through, at least, Work Related Learning, and therefore the following is applicable for all: All learners undertaking the PT HNC must be employed in an engineering role before commencing the course. If a learner ceases to be employed in an engineering positon they can either transfer to the FdSc Engineering, or seek further employment or a WBL placement. Further WRL will take place during the curriculum, detailed as follows: FHEQ level: 4 Related Core WBL/WRL Activity: Logistics Prog Aim Prog Intended LO Range of Assessments Module(s) Design, analysis and Students are briefed on 3,4 2,3 Formative tasks to (CORC 1243) produce CAD drawing. costing of an the component engineering component specification during a Coursework producing based upon a visit from an industrial and analysing an specification from representative in the engineering component. industry. past this has been Teagles, an agricultural Presentation on product equipment costing and investment manufacturing appraisal. company.
