The programme has been developed to map against the professional body requirements for Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP Version 3) in Engineering. The University is seeking accreditation. The School s graduates are well placed to compete for the best graduate positions in the UK and

3 internationally and are taught by staff who work closely with the engineering industry and in a wide range of engineering research. MEng (Hons)/ BEng (Hons) programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering are offered together with BEng (Hons) programmes including Automotive Engineering. BSc (Hons) programmes in Product Design and Technology, Design Engineering and Computer and Network Technology are also part of the portfolio. 3 Awarding institution Manchester Metropolitan University 4 Home Faculty Faculty of Science & Engineering 5 Home Department/School/etc. School of Engineering 6 UCAS/GTTR code(s) 2D86,2W69,H300,H330,H600,F310,G430,WJ29,HJ3X 7 Framework for HE Qualifications position of final award(s) Honours (Level 6) Masters (Level 7) 8 Alignment with University Curriculum Framework Curriculum Framework for Undergraduate Programmes of Study 9 Engagement with the University Wide Provision 10 Compliance with University Assessment Regulations 11 Approved Variations/Exemptions from University Assessment Regulations These programmes are designed to secure accreditation from the PSRBs affiliated to the Engineering Council. The programme content and structure are closely mapped to the benchmark statements for engineering and design, which form a key part of the assessment of our courses for accreditation. Studying an additional language unit does not map clearly to any of the benchmark statements. Its inclusion would put too much pressure on other units to address more benchmark statements. Yes apart from 11 below. Variations to the Undergraduate Assessment Regulations: Revised wording as follows: B9 A unit shall be passed at level 3, 4, 5 and 6 when a student achieves a weighted average mark of 40 or more for the summative assessment(s) associated with the unit, and achieves a minimum mark of 30 in each individual element of summative assessment. At level 7 a unit shall be passed when a student receives a weighted average mark of 50 or more for the summative assessment(s) associated with the unit, and achieves a minimum mark of 40 in each individual element of summative assessment. Where the original aggregate mark is greater than the normal pass mark, this mark should stand following any reassessment. B10 Students shall receive compensated passes in whole units up to a total value of 30 credits at levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 where they achieve a weighted average mark in the Marginal Fail category (35% to 39%) for the summative assessment(s) within that unit, and have achieved an overall average of 40% or greater across the full 120 credits of the level of study. Compensation shall be applied on the first occasion that a student becomes eligible for it, subject to the above criteria. Marginal failure in the Individual Engineering Project, 6E6Z1100, at Level 6 may not be compensated. B16 Students shall always be required to undertake reassessment in units in which they have not achieved a weighted average mark of at least 35 in levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 and 50 in level 7. Students shall also be required to undertake reassessment in units at levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 where they have a

4 mark in the Marginal Fail category but where compensation cannot be applied. 12 Relationship with Faculty Foundation Year Successful completion of the Faculty of Science and Engineering Foundation Year (Group B) entitles students to enter Level 4 of the BEng (Hons) award titles within the School of Engineering Undergraduate Programmes.
