Educational aims/objectives of the programme (when completing this section you may wish to indicate how the programme supports the College Mission Statement, Subject Benchmarks Statements (as listed above), FHEQ qualification level descriptors and the requirements of Accrediting or Statutory Bodies): We aim to provide a course that ranks as the top course in the UK and one of the best World-wide. This is done through an integrated programme of study wherein the specific engineering disciplines, are learnt from the first week of the first year; we strongly believe that this is the most appropriate approach to achieve our aim and as such we have no general engineering foundation. We also aim to graduate students of the highest quality, who will not only demonstrate technical and professional leadership in their fields, but who are adaptable and therefore well-suited to careers in both the industrial and service sectors. Our students must demonstrate both knowledge and skills and apply them to problems relevant to modern engineering practice in both general terms and in discipline-specific terms. Specifically, the programme aims are: To provide students with a solid technical basis in all the key areas of the modern disciplinespecific Engineering profession through delivery of a coherent, coordinated and balanced degree course, integrating core engineering science with practical application To enable students to acquire a mature appreciation of the context in which engineering projects are developed. To develop in our students excellence in oral, written and graphical communication To invest graduates with a fitness to enter professional practice and the capacity to have a beneficial impact upon it, whether in the industrial or service sectors generally or in the specific engineering discipline in particular. To develop an understanding of the physical world and the use of mathematics to represent it To develop the ability to make rational decisions To develop clarity and style in professional communication To develop skills of management, planning, organisaion and teamwork To appreciate the conceptual and creative aspects of design; to develop the ability to incorporate concepts into the design of new products or processes To develop an awareness of the place of the individual in business, society and the environment To develop a commitment to the public interest To inculcate an understanding of professional behaviour To develop the intellectual capacity and breadth of vision to remain a learner for life
15. Programme Learning Outcomes (please list the programme learning outcomes under the headings that follow. Please also list the teaching/learning methods and strategies used to promote the programme learning outcomes. Module learning outcomes can be listed within Module Handbooks and are not required for this section): Institutions have an obligation to respond to individual needs and must have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful disability discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity. To meet the expectations of the Disability Equality Duty (DED), institutions should be pro-active in anticipating the
zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/
variety of possible requirements that disabled students may have, rather than making adjustments for students on an ad hoc basis. This document should list all the skills needed for students to meet the learning outcomes of the programme and may be used by the Colleges Disability Advisory Service when considering reasonable adjustments to assessment.

Additional learning outcomes are listed below under the Colleges headings below: 1. Knowledge and Understanding
These are listed above under the UK-Spec headings. Teaching/learning methods and strategies Acquisition of knowledge is mainly through lectures, tutorials and associated problems sessions to reinforce the lecture content. There is a substantial amount of directed learning through project work at varying degrees of complexity as the student progresses. The programme is designed to permit the student, after a thorough grounding in the first two years of study, a high degree of choice in their final years to suit their aptitudes and career aspirations. Assessment methods and strategies Assessment varies between courses, but in the majority of courses, it is achieved by a combination of written examinations and continuous assessment of coursework and tutorial material. Mastery zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ examinations (with a pass mark of 80%) are used in Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering to ensure that the most fundamental concepts have been mastered. In the final years, interim and final oral presentations and progress reports are also assessed. 2. Skills and other Attributes
Intellectual Skills (lateral and critical thinking, logic): 1. perform analysis and, thereby, solve problems in specific areas shown above
2. 3. 4.
integrate theory and practice in dealing with problems which involve several of the subject areas shown above carry out a synthesis/design of a process when faced with a conflicting set of objectives which are, to some extent, mutually exclusive demonstrate the skills necessary to plan, conduct and report a programme of original research or, alternatively, a project of direct and immediate industrial relevance.
Teaching/learning methods and strategies Lectures followed by tutorials and practical sessions in core subjects are used widely. Mastery exercises are used in some departments to develop skills of synthesis. Design projects of increasing complexity are used. The final year also has a major research or industrial internship project, where in two departments these are in groups for the BEng cohorts (materials, mechanical engineering), and in all other cases, these are individual projects. Assessment methods and strategies Assessment of thinking skills is partly achieved in written examinations, but mostly in assessed project work. At the higher levels, reports and oral presentations are also assessed. 3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Practical Skills
plan and execute safely a series of experiments use laboratory methods to generate data analyse experimental results and determine their accuracy, precision, and validity prepare technical reports give technical presentations use effectively a wide range of computational tools and packages of a general nature use effectively a wide range of computational tools and packages relating specifically to the relevant engineering discipline being studied and to determine the range of their validity make use of knowledge from a number of diverse areas to synthesise a feasible solution to a complex problem of design
Teaching/learning methods and strategies These are covered primarily by first and second year laboratories (some departments have additional laboratory/technical projects such as the pilot plant in chemical engineering). But practice and teaching in all areas is gained via project work in all years. Conventional computer software and modern mathematical/programming software Matlab is used in all engineering degrees from first year on. Special software packages appropriate to the specific engineering disciplines are used in the later years (e.g. Fluent, ABAQUS, MAPLE, ASPEN, gPROMS). Assessment methods and strategies Assessment is primarily by project reports (and by oral presentations where appropriate). 4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Transferable Skills
communicate effectively through oral presentations and written reports use Information and Communications Technology develop management skills: group coordination, decision processes, objective criteria, problem definition, project design and evaluation needs work as a team and/or independently, as appropriate be adequately prepared to enter a chosen sector of industry as a professional become aware of the environmental, economic and social impact of the specific engineering discipline being studied zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ integrate and evaluate information from a variety of sources learn effectively for the purpose of continuing professional development
Teaching/learning methods and strategies Students are introduced to these skills via project work early in the first year of the course and these skills are continuously developed and sharpened throughout the remaining years with increasingly challenging projects. All departments include specific group projects at which these skills are enhanced.
Assessment methods and strategies Assessment is almost exclusively by project reports, presentations, and peer review. 16.

18. Support provided to students to assist learning (including collaborative students, where appropriate). (The description should include information about the induction programme, welfare and pastoral support, library and other facilities available to students, personal tutoring, and access to teaching and learning support services, English language support, feedback to students and dissemination of actions taken as a result): Handbooks for each year giving details of course structure, assessment methods and criteria for progression; these handbooks are made available on the virtual learning environment, the internet and in physical form (in some departments) All departments have an established tutorial system with timetabled meetings with personal tutors throughout the course. Favourable staff-student ratio Open-door policy of academic staff to students, including Senior Tutor and DUGs nd Extensive induction programmes Year 1 for introduction to staff, 2 & later year students, library, course structure, computer facilities, safety issues, etc. High staff participation in personal tutorials and project supervision. Extensive computing facilities and free e-mail and internet access. All departments have Common Room facilities, including catering. All departments have departmental careers advice to supplement College facilities. Access to Student Counsellors and a wide range of medical services on campus for confidential consultations.
19. Criteria for admission: From 20010 the typical minimum offer in terms of Advanced Level grades is AAA (or 360 UCAS points). All courses insist on candidates offering Mathematics (with an A grade, 120 UCAS points). All departments have subtle differences in entry criteria that are adjusted on an annual basis. This includes Chemical Engineering requiring Chemistry at A-level, and other departments requiring Physics at A-level as well as some departments requiring A grades in specific A-level modules, including requiring A* in Mathematics. Applicants with Baccalaureates (French, European or International) or the leaving certificates of various non-UK national systems are very much welcomed and are assessed at an equivalent level to those described above. Scottish and Irish applicants, for instance, would be expected to take our required subjects at advanced higher (AH) Level, and through the Irish Leaving Certificate, respectively; typical offers are A grades in all relevant subjects. 20. Processes used to select students: The undergraduate courses in engineering are intended for able students who are selected on the basis of academic ability as well as motivation. The former will normally be judged by performance in examinations, while the latter will be assessed at an interview which all applicants attend if they live within reasonable travelling distance, or if they can meet one of our staff in another place. Individual departments also conduct interviews abroad (in Malaysia and Singapore). 21. Methods for evaluating and improving the quality and standards of teaching and learning Information regarding College-level practices is outlined below. Please amend this as appropriate to incorporate details of departmental activity. This is achieved by several mechanisms including the following: Review by the (Undergraduate) Teaching Committee (normally a minimum of three meetings annually, in some departments this is held 6 times annually) Review by Joint Board of Moderators (approximately five year intervals) consisting of academic and industrial reviewers. Review by Engineering Studies Committee (approximately five year intervals), including a reviewer from industry. Meetings of the Board of Examiners in withing each department (normally two meetings annually). Visiting Examiner reports (annually). Staff/Student Teaching Committee (also named staff/student liaison committee) recommendations including end of the year course reviews in some departments. SOLE Peer review of lecturers. Staff development courses run by the Centre for Education Development, some of which are compulsory for probationary lecturers, including CASLAT. Imperial College Engineering Studies Committee. Imperial College Faculty of Engineering Teaching Committee. Imperial College Quality Assurance Advisory Committee. Imperial College Senate. Employer needs and opinions feed into the programme through frequent guest lectures from zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ industry, (including part-time academic/industry lecturing posts), industry-based projects, a series of industry/academic forums, and collaboration between academic staff and industry in research and consultancy. a) Methods for review and evaluation of teaching, learning, assessment, the curriculum and outcome standards:
The external examiner system and Boards of Examiners are central to the process by which the College monitors the reliability and validity of its assessment procedures and academic standards. Boards of Examiners comment on the assessment procedures within the College and may suggest improvements for action by relevant departmental teaching Committees. The Engineering Studies Committee reviews and considers the reports of external examiners and accrediting bodies and conduct periodic (normally quinquennial) and internal reviews of teaching provision. Regular reviews ensure that there is opportunity to highlight examples of good practice and ensure that recommendations for improvement can be made. At programme level, the Head of Department/Division has overall responsibility for academic standards and the quality of the educational experience delivered within the department or division. In all departments in engineering this responsibility is devolved to the Director of Undergraduate Studies. All of the engineering undergraduate programmes are accredited by professional engineering institutions. Accreditation provides the College with additional assurance that its programmes are of an appropriate standard and relevant to the requirement of industry and the professions. b) Committees with responsibility for monitoring and evaluating quality and standards: The Senate oversees the quality assurance and regulation of degrees offered by the College. It is charged with promoting the academic work of the College, both in teaching and research, and with regulating and supervising the education and discipline of the students of the College. It has responsibility for approval of changes to the Academic Regulations, major changes to degree programmes and approval of new programmes. The Quality Assurance Advisory Committee (QAAC) is the main forum for discussion of QA policy and the regulation of degree programmes at College level. QAAC develops and advises the Senate on the implementation of codes of practice and procedures relating to quality assurance and audit of quality and arrangements necessary to ensure compliance with national and international standards. QAAC also considers amendments to the Academic Regulations before making recommendations for change to the Senate. It also maintains an overview of the statistics on completion rates, withdrawals, examination irregularities (including cases of plagiarism), student appeals and disciplinaries. The Faculty Studies Committees and Graduate School Postgraduate Quality Committees are the major vehicle for the quality assurance of undergraduate / postgraduate courses respectively. Their remit includes: setting the standards and framework, and overseeing the processes of quality assurance, for the areas within their remit; monitoring the provision and quality of e-learning; undertaking reviews of new and existing courses; noting minor changes in existing programme curricula approved by Departments; approving new modules, changes in module titles, major changes in examination structure and programme specifications for existing programmes; and reviewing proposals for new programmes, and the discontinuation of existing programmes, and making recommendations to Senate as appropriate. The Faculty Teaching Committees maintain and develop teaching strategies and promote interdepartmental and inter-faculty teaching activities to enhance the efficiency of teaching within Faculties. They also identify and disseminate examples of good practice in teaching. Departmental Teaching Committees have responsibility for the approval of minor changes to course curricula and examination structures and approve arrangements for course work. They also consider the details of entrance requirements.
c) Mechanisms for providing prompt feedback to students on their performance in course work and examinations and processes for monitoring that these named processes are effective: The Virtual Learning Environment is used in order to provide rapid feedback to students on their coursework and supplement face-to-face feedback as appropriate. All courses have feedback included in the lectures and tutorials, where appropriate.
GTAS, specifically trained in the marking of coursework and minor project elements are used to ensure return of marked work within the College specifications. Defaults are reported to the Senior Tutor and/or DUGs for appropriate action. Marked and annotated Coursework is returned to students. Some academic staff provide verbal feedback in class, others distribute written overviews. No engineering department provides feedback information to students on examination performance. d) Mechanisms for gaining student feedback on the quality of teaching and their learning experience and how students are provided with feedback as to actions taken as a result of their comments: Termly staff-student committee meetings and regular meetings between the Senior Tutor, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and the academic and Departmental representatives are held during which issues related to teaching quality are discussed and feedback is provided to the students on actions taken as a result of their comments. SOLE reports are sent to individual staff and the DUGS. The DUGS is responsible for action on points raised with the relevant member of staff where necessary. In many departments staff student committee meetings and end of year meeting minutes are posted on the Departmental intranet with actionable items included. Annual requests by DUGs to student representatives to nominate staff for teaching awards, highlighting excellence. e) Mechanisms for monitoring the effectiveness of the personal tutoring system:
Termly staff-student committee meetings and regular meetings between the Senior Tutor, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and the academic and Departmental representatives are held during which issues related to the personal tutoring system are discussed. In some departments: there are additionally end of year staff student committee meetings, a formal Senior Tutor review, a term reports that are completed by both student and personal tutor. f) Mechanisms for recognising and rewarding excellence in teaching and in pastoral care:
Staff are encouraged to reflect on their teaching, in order to introduce enhancements and develop innovative teaching methods. Each year College awards are presented to academic staff for outstanding contributions to teaching, pastoral care or research supervision. A special award for Teaching Innovation, available each year, is presented to a member of staff who has demonstrated an original and innovative approach to teaching. Nominations for these awards come from across the College and students are invited both to nominate staff and to sit on the deciding panels. Additionally, the Faculty of Engineering has an annual teaching celebration at which up to three FoE teaching excellence awards are made. Other awards for student achievement in engineering education, and graduate teaching assistant awards for each department are made at the same time. Some departments in engineering additionally have annual departmental teaching awards. g) Staff development priorities for this programme include: All new lecturing staff are required to undertake the College-run Certificate of Advanced Study in Learning and Teaching (CASLAT) programme. Each probationary lecturer is allocated a mentor, one zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ of the requirements of the mentor is to audit teaching. At probationary review the Director of Studies (or Director of Undergraduate Studies) is invited to submit a teaching assessment of the probationer. The aims of CASLAT are to ensure that participants build on a foundation in the practice and theory of teaching, supervision, learning, assessment and course design in higher education. The teaching methods encourage participants and tutors to engage in constructively critical examination of underpinning theory and principles, to consider the implications of these for pedagogic practice and subject their own practice to scrutiny and enhancement. CASLAT is sensitive to the range of
disciplines at Imperial, the various levels of teaching (undergraduate and postgraduate) and the Imperial context. The course draws upon education theory and research, but retains a primary intention to focus on practice. It is assumed all participants will be experts in their disciplinary field and be fully conversant with the subject material they teach (reproduced from the following CASLAT webpage on the Imperial College London website http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/edudev/oldsite/professionaldevelopment/caslat). Upon completion of the CASLAT, lecturers are expected (the following are reproduced from the same webpage as above) To demonstrate their understanding of the scholarship of how students learn through its impact on the teaching, assessment and course design modes that they employ; To design a course in their discipline and implement a range of teaching methods; To examine critically the likely advantages and disadvantages of the approaches to teaching employed; To employ good practice in respect of student support, feedback and assessment, showing due respect for individual learners and their development; To use and analyse critically the strengths and weaknesses of a range of methods for evaluating teaching; To be aware of potential uses and the implications of communications and information technology for changing pedagogic practice; To be constructively critical and reflective about their own pedagogic practice; To have a working knowledge of the procedures, codes and norms pertaining to educational processes in their department/division, the College and, as appropriate - more widely - in England. Once staff have successfully completed their probationary period, they participate in the annual appraisal and development system, managed by the Head of Department. This seeks to ensure that all development needs are met for staff members to perform at their full potential. The College runs a variety of courses appropriate to staff at different stages of their careers.

Regulation of Assessment (you may find the following link useful when completing this section: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/information/academicregulations) a) Assessment Rules and Degree Classification: For undergraduate programmes classification of degrees will be according to the following range of marks: First class Second class (upper division) Second class (lower division) Third class 70 - 100% 60 - 69.9% 50 - 59.9% 40 - 49.9%
For postgraduate taught programmes: The Pass Mark for postgraduate taught courses is 50%. In order to be awarded a result of merit, a candidate must obtain an aggregate mark of 60% or greater; a result of distinction requires an aggregate mark of 70% or greater. Where appropriate, a Board zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ of Examiners may award a result of merit where a candidate has achieved an aggregate mark of 60% or greater across the programme as a whole AND has obtained a mark of 60% or greater in each element with the exception of one element AND has obtained a mark of 50% or greater in this latter element. Where appropriate, a Board of Examiners may award a result of distinction where a candidate has achieved an aggregate mark of 70% or greater across the programme as a whole AND has obtained a mark of 70% or greater in each element with the exception of one element AND has obtained a mark of 60% or greater in this latter element.
b) Marking Schemes for undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes: The Pass Mark for all undergraduate modules is 40%. From October 2008 entry all undergraduates are required to pass all their course units to progress to the next year. The Pass Mark for all postgraduate taught course modules is 50%. Students must pass all elements in order to be awarded a degree. c) Processes for dealing with mitigating circumstances: For undergraduate programmes: Candidates with mitigating circumstances are not subject to the borderline restrictions but should be considered individually. However, as a general principle, candidates whose marks are more than 5% below the borderline should not normally be raised to the next higher classification. Where the Board of Examiners determines that a higher classification should be awarded extra marks should be applied to bring the final marks into the higher range. For postgraduate taught programmes: A candidate for a Masters degree who is prevented owing to illness or the death of a near relative or other cause judged sufficient by the Graduate Schools from completing at the normal time the examination or Part of the examination for which he/she has entered may, at the discretion of the Examiners, (a) Enter the examination in those elements in which he/she was not able to be examined on the next occasion when the examination is held in order to complete the examination, or be set a special examination in those elements of the examination missed as soon as possible and/or be permitted to submit any work prescribed (e.g. report) at a date specified by the Board of Examiners concerned. The special examination shall be in the same format as specified in the course regulations for the element(s) missed. Applications, which must be accompanied by a medical certificate or other statement of the grounds on which the application is made, shall be submitted to the Academic Registrar who will submit them to the Board of Examiners. d) Processes for determining degree classification for borderline candidates: For undergraduate programmes: Candidates who fall no more than 2.5% below the minimum mark for a higher honours classification shall be eligible for review of their final classification; this review could include an oral examination or practical test or other mechanism appropriate to the discipline. Candidates whose marks are below the 2.5% borderline may be considered for a higher honours classification where certain provisions apply. Where the Board of Examiners determines that a candidate should be awarded a higher honours classification extra marks should be applied to bring their final marks into the higher range. Detailed records of all decisions should be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the Board. For postgraduate taught programmes: Candidates should only be considered for promotion to pass, merit or distinction if their aggregate mark is within 2.5% of the relevant borderline. Nevertheless, candidates whom the Board deems to have exceptional circumstances may be considered for promotion even if their aggregate mark is more than 2.5% from the borderline. In such cases the necessary extra marks should be credited to bring the candidates aggregate mark into the zycnzj.com/http://www.zycnzj.com/ higher range. e) Role of external examiners: The primary duty of external examiners is to ensure that the degrees awarded by the College are consistent with that of the national university system. External examiners are also responsible for approval of draft question papers, assessment of examination scripts, projects and coursework (where appropriate) and in some cases will attend viva voce and clinical examinations. Although
external examiners do not have power of veto their views carry considerable weight and will be treated accordingly. External examiners are required to attend each meeting of the Board of Examiners where recommendations on the results of individual examinations are considered. External examiners are required to write an annual report to the Rector of Imperial College which may include observations on teaching, course structure and course content as well as the examination process as a whole. The College provides feedback to external examiners in response to recommendations made within their reports. 23. Indicators of Quality and Standards (e.g. accreditation reports): Consistently high demand for places on our Undergraduate programme Highly favourable comments by External Examiners Highly favourable comments by accreditors High proportion of students graduate with upper second and first class honours Periodic review of degree programmes by external assessors, organised by the QARC Participation in the Engineering Faculty Teaching Committee and Imperial College Senate Consistently high entry qualifications of students High proportion of our graduates obtain employment and many are actively sought by industry Many graduates go on to take postgraduate courses in College.
